Absolutely slamming remix of Hurt from Millennial Danyka Get it Today: https://asot639.lnk.to/HurtMR

I could beat this guy in a race.

Super happy to see that I made The Globe and Mail for my performance as a Toronto agent in 2020! Fired up to do it again in 2021.

We can manipulate our worlds. We're all capable of it. As humans, we're risk-averse (usually). We enjoy the comfort and predictable routine. We tend to play it safe to avoid fear. In our personal and professional lives, failure is a main driver of fear. No one likes to fail and we avoid it at all cost.... Think about a time you felt a bit of fear. Was it a job interview? How about the first date with someone? Was it was the first time you landed a backflip on a bike (I do these every morning). In these examples, the fear is of failure (some more dangerous than others). If you fail during a first date you might lose your shot with someone you're attracted to. If you fail a job interview you will be poor forever. If you fail your morning backflips, you'll break your neck. Failure equals pain and fear is the first sign of it. The issue is that within fear is usually where we need to be to experience growth. This doesn't mean we should do dangerous things. Please don't. I prefer to think of it like this. We should be doing developmental work that is uncomfortable. We should be stepping outside of our comfort zones if (and only if) it's in line with our 'future self'. Tapping into this mental energy and personal power provides exponential benefits. You can change your entire world by acting from personal power. You can influence positive change in your own life and others. If you redefine failure as an opportunity to learn you can never fail. If you can't fail then what are you waiting for?

How did I bootstrap a record label to international status before I got into Real Estate? Perseverance. I've been an entrepreneur since I was born. I'm interested in how to build things. This life-long curiosity is how I built the label. In 2012 I read a book on running a record label. A few months later and with no idea what I was doing I approached a distributor. In a matter of weeks, I released the labels first two singles.... The music industry is tough. It's unforgiving and the climb to the top is brutal and ruthless. You have to have thick skin. You also have to be blind to what's going on next to you, behind you, and ahead of you. The blindness is why we succeeded in music. We would repeat the same thing over and over again week in and week out. Over the years our process became an art. Constant redefinition and refinement paired with unapologetic self-promotion. We did us, in our own way, without regard for the rest of the scene. We were building our own machine by trial and error. Over time that machine became attractive to better talent. Better talent drove us to refine and redefine again and the cycle continued. The passion we had for our brand and mission spread. 70,000 fans shared their love for it. We began getting the attention of the largest group of labels on earth in our genre. Armada Music signed us after our climb. I had accomplished the one thing I set out to do. 5 years beforehand I was in the crowd at an Armin van Buuren concert DREAMING about this. That's when a funny thing happened. I lost my 'why'. I had a difficult time moving forward because I had accomplished my goal. Years passed and deep down I redefined who I was. I learned from my experience with the music industry. I'm so thankful for the music business we created. It taught me so many things about myself, business, and the world. Those lessons helped redefine me as a human and now my goals are much much bigger.

People voted my song Hurt into the top 1000 ASOT tunes. I’m humbled and thankful I was able to produce a tune you guys love so much.

Berlin is a wild city. I visited with my friend Jimmy a while back and wow...what a city. We landed early, 5 am. We checked into our hostel and ate some breakfast. A few hours later and we knew the entire hostel. The thing about Jimmy and I is that when we're together we're a social powerhouse. You can't escape us.... Since high school, I've been a planner. I put together social events for our entire network of friends for years. It was no surprise that within the first day in Berlin we had already arranged a night out for everyone. At first, we wandered around the city checking out the Berlin Light Festival. The festival is an art festival that transforms historical buildings into art. They project and 3D map light onto buildings all over the city. To say it was awesome would be an understatement. After we were completely worn out from walking we went to a club (naturally the best thing to do right?). Fast forward to 4 am and I begin to question how this place is still open. Answer: Some bars and clubs NEVER close in Berlin. Yes... wild. We leave because we're all completely worn out. Back at the hostel, we get to sleep and recharge for another day. Over the next few days, we made all kinds of friends and saw all kinds of things. We did the historical tours as well as some 'off the beaten path' type stuff (like the spot Hitler killed himself). I'm a big music fan so I had to check out Universal Music Berlin. Berlin is incredible. The city is DRENCHED in history both good and bad. It's a city that has gone through a lot. You can feel it while you're there. It's also vibrant and full of art and celebration. It's an interesting contrast when you're a visitor. I'll get back to Berlin someday.

One thing I couldn't stand about living in a tiny condo was the repair routine. You know what I'm talking about. Almost as if it's on a schedule. An elevator breaks, the fire alarm goes off, or something needs repair. Management tries to keep on top of it but they're at the mercy of the repair company. More often than not the repair company takes days to fix the issue.... It feels like constant repair. If it's the elevator this month it means you're in for a few days of claustrophobia. It's already not enough space and now this? When I lived in a small condo it was hard to feel personal space. When the monthly "this broke" email came in I wasn't even surprised. My favourite was the 4 am wake up call from the fire alarm. You know the one. It comes when you least expect it and in no way represents any real danger. It sounds off so loud that you fall right out of bed. You sit around for 40 minutes while the fire department checks it out. You're then told everything is fine. You try to get back to sleep after having a shot of adrenaline only to lie awake until the morning. Ears pounding from the audible assault of the alarm. I wasn't always bothered by this but as I spent more time in condos it became a pain. If this sounds familiar and you've thought about leaving the condo world shoot me a DM. I have a system to help people get out of condos and into homes.
