E65: Cameron Rawson on The Secret Life of a DJ, Mental Health, Alcohol and more
On this week's episode of Life and Lessons, you're going to hear a conversation between me and Cameron Rawson.
Cameron is a DJ who has played venues across the length and breadth of the country.
But a year ago, his life was put on hold.
With clubs closed and events cancelled, everything Cameron came to accept as normal was thrown into question.
Cameron has some really interesting insights into the realities of the nightlife industry, and also an inspiring story of how he has used the past year positively.
In the next hour, you’re going to learn:
- What really goes on behind the scenes in a nightclub
- Why DJs absolutely hate taking your requests
- The mental health implications of having a job that requires late nights, lonely travel, and one that encourages you to drink on the job
- And how a period of uncertainty such as a lockdown is a great opportunity to question everything you believe to be true, to make positive changes in your life
and more.
