The Art of Being a Beginner: Learning to DJ (and Laughing Through the Chaos) w/ José Salgado

About this episode

Anissa Rosales and José Salgado discuss the challenges and joys of learning to DJ as an adult.

Trying something new as an adult can feel… humbling. This episode is a reminder that it can also be fun. José Salgado joins me to talk about learning to DJ in real time; chasing creative dreams in your thirties, finding joy in the messiness of starting something new, and all the laughs in between. If you’ve been craving a creative reset or permission to start before you feel “ready,” this one’s for you.
