Welcome to Episode 27 of the Business Lockdown.
Today's Guest is DJ, Producer and Videographer Ben Rainey. Ben is not only a fantastic musician, but a great marketer and an even better advocate for mental health awareness. Working with Andy's Man Club, Ben turned personal tragedy into positivity. We chat about the rise of mental health awareness and overcoming difficulties that will inevitably arise at the start of any journey, personally or professionally.
By bringing 'more than a DJ' to venues, Ben was able to learn and develop his skill set and subsequently his value to clients. We talk about our best DJ experiences and favorite memories, but also how putting yourself out there can come with negatives that need to be overcome in order to show your dedication and determination. We also hear the incredible story of Ben's work with Andy's man club, a men's mental health support group.
Raising awareness for mental health and following his dreams, Ben is a multitalented individual, from Djing to wedding videography and even mentoring an amazingly talented 12-year-old DJ! We share our similar experiences in podcasting and music and chat about dealing with negativity that may arise out of following our passions.
