Many famed music producers are known for a particular sound that has its day. Rick Rubin is known for something else: creating a space where artists of all different genres and traditions can home in on who they really are and what they really offer. He has made a practice of helping people transcend their self-imposed expectations in order to reconnect with a state of innocence from which the surprising becomes inevitable. Over the years, he has learned that being an artist isn’t about your specific output, it’s about your relationship to the world.

When someone asks what you do, is your first response: “I’m a salesperson”? If you’re in the wedding and event industry, that’s not likely the case. Actually, if you’re in almost any service business that’s not going to be your answer. While I teach, train, and write about sales, it’s not my answer, either. If you’re like many wedding and event pros, you love providing your products and services to couples, companies, and customers more than you like the sales part.

You live in your dream house, but there's no mortgage. No alarm clock, no boss, no bills. No claims on the day's time other than what you choose. It is making more money before breakfast than you made for an entire week at your last job. It is a crazy expensive car parked in your garage, a victorious symbol that your dreams no longer sleep in fantasies, but are awake with reality.

He died at the age of 32, and in his lifetime he never had a pop hit. Yet since his death, J Dilla has become a demigod: revered by jazz musicians and rap icons from Robert Glasper to Kendrick Lamar; memorialized in symphonies and taught at universities.

Useful Book for Gigging Musicians, Too
"Rock the Dance Floor!" is an impressive audiobook of rare quality. I am a not a DJ, but as a musician, I found this book to be invaluable. (I think it might be extremely useful for all DJs, especially those just starting out.)
Phil Morse is an experienced DJ, founder of the Digital DJ Tips website and school, an excellent writer, and one of the absolute best audiobook readers I have ever heard. I have bought hundreds of audiobooks and have been disappointed in many of them due to the poor quality of the reading. Phil speaks clearly at a comfortable pace, in a friendly, conversational tone, and, most important, the volume of his voice stays reasonably even and doesn't drop significantly at the end of sentences. If you listen to the audio sample and are satisfied with it, reader-wise, the rest of the book will satisfy you likewise.
Phil sounds similar to author/reader Bill Bryson, but Bill's voice, though very pleasant to listen to, sometimes trails off, volume-wise, at the end of sentences.
If you are a DJ or a gigging musician, I think it's likely that listening to "Rock the Dance Floor" will not be a waste of time.

I found this book very helpful, informative, and useful! Phil Morse does a fantastic job verbalizing and breaking down great tips in a very usable form. I’ve been a DJ for quite a while, and I still learned a ton here. I think this book is great for both beginner DJs and also those with more experience.
