#36 So Long Alyson, Hello Bodhi

We hear about this idea of work-life balance.But it's kind of bullshit. It doesn't make sense.Nothing in our lives can be exact. For example, this amount of work, this amount of play, this amount of relationship is not all equal in energy. It doesn't work that way. This is life. We're in fluid. We're in motion constantly.I like the idea of work life harmony because we get to decide what things we're going to focus on and give our attention to then and now.I want you to think of five areas in your life, for example recreation, relationships, work, creative output, and mindfulness, spirituality.If none of those words light you up, remix them. Use this as a guidepost. Then I want you to think about how you can find more harmony in all of these areas.Let me know which ones you want to add a little bit more volume too. Which one you're going to give more attention.  Email me at hi@remixyourworld.comDM me over on InstagramJoin the Facebook GroupTake My Remix Your World Course See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

#35 Motivational Mixdown - Work Life Harmony

Quick motivational mixdown that I wanted to talk to you today about.I had a great conversation in a class a few weeks ago. We were talking about this idea of being responsible and how that word can have so much weight, right?Responsibility.And what I like to look at is what that word is. I like to break it down into how am I able to respond. Responsibility, how am I able to respond?We have these moments in our lives. We have these conversations that happened, we have work responsibilities, all of these things that are requesting our attention and a lot of times what can happen is we choose to react rather than to respond.Over the next couple of weeks, I want you to pay attention to when somebody comes to you with something that might need feedback. Maybe something at work, a lover or relationship with your parents. Notice. Check in with yourself before you respond. I have a moment now to check, "Do I want to react to what they are saying or do I want to respond?"Responsible, being able to respond without judgment, aggression, anger, defensiveness. That's what I want you to practice.Just try it on everything that I bring to you. They're just merely clothes in the closet. Go to the closet and try this one on notice, are you normally in a place of reactivity or do you allow the space in between to really center yourself and then respond from a conscious space?This is your motivation mixdown and homework.

#34 Motivational Mixdown - The Ability to Respond

You may have heard Peter Napoli at one of his traveling BRÜT parties (NY, LA, SF and Chicago), where his pulsating beat reigns over packed dance floors and throngs of young men in gear. While this nightlife attraction has been a mainstay for years, Peter’s love of music actually began far earlier, growing up in a family of musicians in the boroughs of New York City.  Rhythm was a constant in the Napoli household. Peter’s dad is a well-known drummer and there was always a groove happening at home. That early exposure to the relationship between kick-drumming and ass-shaking propelled Peter to find a career in music beginning in Mexico City in 2009. Back home in NYC, the young firebrand honed his skills at Santos Party House, which escalated him to opportunities in Europe, North and South America.  As his sound evolved, Peter found inspiration in Deep House and Techno, but also the classic basslines of Frankie Knuckles and David Cole. This diversity is on display at his legendary Burning Man sets, and now at Voyage.  In its latest iteration, Napoli’s sound is an evolution from the stagnant circuit scene of decades past, to a future built on an array of percussion and an inclusive cast of talent and performers. Peter’s latest party brand, Voyage, is a newcomer to the scene. Its rhythm is the journey; a new venture for aficionados of House and Techno, and the Electronic music community.  Connect with Peterhttps://soundcloud.com/djpeternapoli  https://www.facebook.com/djpeternapoli/  https://www.instagram.com/djpeternapoli/  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

#33 DJ Peter Napoli: All Things Life & Music

How do you unplug? Do you have an unplugging practice?Think of the last time you completely disconnected from your devices and unplugged for a few hours.I like to unplug after long weekends of intense activity and energy. For example if i'm playing a few shows, going to circuit parties or attending festivals, those weekends can be really exhausting. Fun as hell yes, but can completely drain me. One of the ways that I like to recharge is to unplug from all things digital and plug into me time. This week's episode is all about The Power Of Unplugging.Listen in and let me know what ways you like to recharge.DM me over on Instagram Join the facebook group Take My Remix Your World Course See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

#32 Motivational Mixdown - The Power Of Unplugging

Great leaders don’t water down their message in order to make the tribe a bit bigger. Instead, they realize that a motivated, connected tribe in the midst of a movement is far more powerful than a larger group could ever be.” Seth Godin  One of my favorite books of all time is Seth Godin's Tribes.If you have followed me long enough musically, you know that I refer my loyal listeners as the Calagna Tribe of Seekers.I have always marched to the beat of my drum.As a kid, I didn't like rules and often would find the best way to break them possible when they were forced. As an artist, I still choose to follow my rhythm. Sometimes, I would say this has been my Achilles heel. I can't be placed in a box. Musically, I have a range and to be known as a specific type of DJ or music producer only doesn't fit the frequency of who I am.Having to learn to follow my path is what ultimately led me to build a tribe of seekers who not only understood my sound, vision, and mission.But could also resonate with the sound themselves.If you are a fan of my music, then you and I share a similar frequency.You want something different. You want something that doesn't sound like everyone else. You crave something deeper, something raw. You like music to take you somewhere. You are invested not only in the sound, but the story and emotion behind it. You aren't afraid to go beyond your comfort zone and stretch yourself because you trust that I will take you there. You and I share the same frequency.But here is the thing. If I didn't follow my heart, we wouldn't have connected. So, I want you to practice using this mantra in your life."Your vibe attracts your tribe." Regardless of what you do in your life, this mantra is potent.Pay attention to what energy you are putting forth in the world.What is your frequency like daily?Are you uplifted? Are you joyful?Do you love your life?Or Are you filled with negativity? Are you complaining more than appreciating?Tune inward and look at your vibe.Pay attention to who you are attracting in your life and notice if these are people that are in alignment with you, or are they people who are affecting your flow?Then take a look at your closest tribe members and notice if anyone is holding you back. If so, perhaps it's time to have a real talk conversation with them. Or maybe it's time to let them go.Your vibe attracts your tribe.And what you put out into the world, will come back to you.If you choose to put out positive vibes and walk into your day with love, gratitude, and joy then I guarantee, you will get that back. And the same goes for negativity.When you are faced with something that is off or out of flow Question it.What frequency am I playing that is attracting this into my life? How can I grow from this experience? What is life requesting that I do differently?Resources: CIJ Course  Private CoachingConnect with Me  Website   Instagram   Facebook   CIJ Course   Facebook Group See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

#30 Karsten Sollors: All things Life, Music and Production

Think about a time in your life where you had a breakdown. It doesn't have to be a huge breakdown. We experience breakdowns all the time. Breakdowns in communication, breakdowns in ideas, breakdowns in gear and technology, and of course emotional breakdowns.  Can you think about a time when you recently had one? How did you deal with it?   As a music producer, I love adding new elements to my breakdowns and having something completely different happen after the drop.   As a coach, it's also the same. I help people thru their life transitions. We strip down to the basics, add new elements and create new rituals and behaviors that allow them to breakthrough the area that was once sticky for them.   Have a listen to the podcast and let me know about your experience.

#29 Motivational Mixdown - Finding Beauty in the Breakdown

Can you identify the story that you are running in your head about this change?Often these stories start with the sentence I can't; I don't know how I wish I could, and why is this happening to me?If you take a more in-depth look at those stories, they are putting you in a frequency of victim consciousness and are keeping you in a state of disempowerment.What would it look like if you remixed those "why is this happening to me" questions into "how can I grow from this" or "what is my life asking I do differently." These insightful questions put you in a much higher frequency to first accept the change that is happening and then responds with grace and gratitude instead of a poor me attitude.  In week 4 of my CIJ class, we dive into penetrating questions; how we can use them in our daily lives to not only connect with other people more intently but the items offer us wisdom and guidance when change can feel so scary.  Have you ever had a chance to witness Buddhist monks make a sand mandala? The amount of time, presence, patience and mindfulness that goes into each grain of painted and takes days to create. These sacred visuals are representations of the vast universe. Because of the teachings of impermanence, they destroy the Mandala once they have finished. They believe that things do not die, but they merely transform. It is a practice of non-attachment.  It's quite mesmerizing, and if you get a chance to see it in person, I highly recommend it.  Meditate on this concept this week. Think of the situations in your life that are changing and see if you can find a little more ease into letting go. Knowing that nothing ever dies, it merely transforms. ResourcesSand mandala: Tibetan Buddhist ritualConnect with Me   Website    Instagram    Facebook    CIJ Course    Facebook Group See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

#28 Motivational Mixdown - "Embracing Impermanence"

On this episode, I sat down with one of my favorite producers.If you have listened to my sets chances are you have heard his music, remixes or tracks off of his Label HotL Records. What I loved about our conversation is how easy our flow was.We haven’t ever spoken before and there is a connection I feel with him.Once we got deeper into our conversation, I can understand why. We share a lot of the same values, morning practices and out look on our own versions of “spiritual” life.We spoke about his creative process, DJing and his family.Connect with David:WebsiteInstagramFacebookTwitterYoutubeBeatportConnect with Me   Website    Instagram    Facebook    CIJ Course    Facebook Group See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
