This is a global, original podcast.

Paul McKenna's positivity podcast.

Hello, this is Paul McKenna, and welcome to the positivity podcast.

My objective is to interview the most interesting people in the world,

and in the next 30 minutes, get insights and even discover how it is that they do what they do,

what makes them unique and fascinating, their success mindset,

and certainly what keeps them positive.

My guest today found fame as a club DJ in the 1980s, doing private parties for everyone from Prince to Madonna.

He's become one of fashion's favourite acts, as Vogue's resident DJ, and as Donatella

Versace and Victoria Beckham's go-to-party guy. His autobiography, I don't take requests, is out now.

I'm talking today with DJ Fat Tony. I'm all right with where I'm at. And I think the fact that

the day that I accepted, I'm all right with who I am and where I'm at today,

was the day that everything really turned a corner and kind of went upwards.

I'm very blessed because I work a 12-step program, so that kind of teaches us, that's given us those tools.

You know, we can all wake up feeling worthless. It's about where

we go from. You should be laughing at this. And you just think, oh my God, maybe you shouldn't,

but really you should be because then you won't be so caught up in your own little head.

How is the point of my life is the day that I actually made that decision of not wanting to be that,

that I would call it a person, but it wasn't a person.

It was, it was very much the ends of someone's life and just that getting zest back for life is about proudest moment.
