E136 - Are Young Men Locking Themselves Into Lives They'll Regret? | Rob The Bank
Notas do episódio
Rob Oliver is a content creator and DJ who went all-in on house music, and this conversation reveals why Miami is optimised for spending not building, how the music industry is surprisingly political, and why pursuing what you love gives energy instead of draining it.
Rob explains why he hates Miami despite being there, it's status games rather than real building, though it remains necessary for what he's creating. Learn why the DJ world is more cliquish than expected with exclusive circles that either embrace or reject you based on having a following, how most people stay bogged down by relationships and jobs they hate without realising what they're leaving on table, and why his viral talking-head format eventually stopped working after massive volume.
