We recently had the chance to connect with DJ Shani and have shared our conversation below.
DJ, really appreciate you sharing your stories and insights with us. The world would have so much more understanding and empathy if we all were a bit more open about our stories and how they have helped shaped our journey and worldview. Let’s jump in with a fun one: What do the first 90 minutes of your day look like?
Still trying to wake up accompanied by prayer and coffee.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I’m DJ Shani creator of “The Groove Temple” on KUTX. To my knowledge, it’s the only Deep House, mixed radio show in Central Texas.
Okay, so here’s a deep one: What breaks the bonds between people—and what restores them?
Insecurities break bonds and confidence restores them.
When did you stop hiding your pain and start using it as power?
When I stopped being embarrased by having to use a cane then embraced my new reality.
Next, maybe we can discuss some of your foundational philosophies and views? Is the public version of you the real you?
Most times.
Before we go, we’d love to hear your thoughts on some longer-run, legacy type questions. If you knew you had 10 years left, what would you stop doing immediately?
People Pleasing.
