What Matters
DJ is passionate about food: "Good food, that is the creme de la creme. I've traveled to several different countries and I will tell you now if I don't like the food of a country, I can't stay there. I gotta go."
DJ believes fulfillment is essential: "When you get into a place where you're doing things because they fill up your cup, then you're given from your overflow... as long as I'm pouring into me, I can give everyone, and I don't feel like I'm detracting from my mission, my goals, and it's from genuine place."
DJ values goal setting only if the goals are authentic: "As long as they're your goals, when you understand whose goals there are, cool you're doing because everybody setting the goals, it doesn't matter."
DJ believes parenting matters because "we all have childhood wounds that we having to carry in, and so the goal is to try and allow them to find themselves instead of have to fix themselves when they get older."
DJ sees chess as a metaphor for life: "Life is one big game to be played, and if you've ever played chess with someone who plays checkers, they're really easy to run around."
DJ says emotional intelligence matters "more than almost anything," especially for parents and business owners: "If you can't regulate yourself, then you're flying off the handle at all times... you're always stressed out. You're never enjoying anything."
DJ finds Brazilian jiu-jitsu humbling: "Technique beats force... I rolled against a girl who was probably about 80 pounds... and she absolutely dominated me for about 25 minutes. And it was just, I tip my hat for the technique."
DJ thinks video games matter: "I'm jealous of the kids now... they can really see who's the best in the world. I think it's a great way to explore hand eye coordination and learn to take risk without necessarily actually taking risk."
DJ says money only matters if it's used to enhance life: "If you're using it to bolster your time and your opportunities with your family and your loved ones, it definitely matters."
DJ shrugs off coffee: "Humans will always find some sort of substance or something that'll get 'em going. So if coffee ain't it, they'll just drink tea."
DJ dismisses fashion: "You're only dressing to impress other people at that point."
