Hello, world. Welcome to discover your talent, do what you love.

Number 726. I'm your host, Don Hutchison. Every Monday and Wednesday, I interview someone around the world who's discovered their talents

to do work they love to create a life of success, satisfaction, and freedom.

On Fridays, I interview a well-known expert from the fields of personal or business development

who share experiences, tools, and insights to help our listeners along

their journeys.

I just want to help people unlock their creativity in a massive way, whether it's by teaching

Well, so what I have going on right now is, as I mentioned in the bio, DJing events,

I also teach students how to DJ, whether it be in group classes or individually. And these students can be of varying ages, 10 years old, 65 years old. so I cover the whole spectrum. And then I also have
