Madness and Memories: Danny Gould Reflects on the Wild Days of Ibiza
Épisode 32
lundi 11 août 2025 • Durée 01:02:33
In this episode, Danny Gould shares his remarkable journey from the chaotic nightlife of the 90s to a more grounded life today. As a co-founder of the global party brand Clockwork Orange, Danny reflects on the evolution of the club scene, the impact of drug culture, and his personal struggles with addiction. He candidly discusses his experiences in Ibiza, the transformation of the nightlife industry, and the challenges of running large-scale events in a post-COVID world. With a mix of nostalgia and insight, Danny highlights the importance of community, the changes in party culture, and his path to sobriety, ultimately revealing how these experiences have shaped his current perspective on life and work.
Origins of Clockwork Orange: Clockwork Orange was founded in 1993 by Danny Gould and Andy Manston, emerging from the vibrant club scene that followed the rave culture of the late 80s. The brand quickly grew in popularity, becoming a significant player in the nightlife industry.
Evolution of the Club Scene: The club scene has transformed significantly since the 90s, with changes in how events are promoted and attended. Initially reliant on word-of-mouth and physical flyers, the rise of social media has altered the landscape, making it easier to reach audiences but also fragmenting the experience.
Personal Journey and Sobriety: Danny's journey through addiction and eventual sobriety in 2003 highlights the challenges faced in nightlife culture. His experiences with drug use and the chaotic lifestyle that accompanied it shaped his perspective on life and work, leading to a more grounded and respectful approach to both.
Impact of COVID-19: The pandemic brought significant changes to the nightlife and festival industry, affecting attendance patterns and the overall atmosphere. Post-lockdown, audiences have become more cautious and less eager to commit to events, leading to a shift in how events are marketed and organized.
Current and Future Directions: Clockwork Orange continues to expand globally, with events planned in various countries. Danny emphasizes the importance of adapting to changing trends in nightlife and the need for a balance between maintaining the brand's legacy and embracing new opportunities.
"I just woke up one morning and I just went like that after a mad session... and that was it. Addiction was gone." - Danny Gould
"The crazier you were, the more you got recognized... Put a drink in me or a drug in me, and it was 10 times more." - Danny Gould
"In the 90s, it was like, you're escaping somewhere... you can almost get away with like anything." - Danny Gould
"I wouldn't have been able to start it again if it weren't for social media. I wouldn't have done it." - Danny Gould
"You go from one pill to two pills to four pills to six to eight to ten." - Danny Gould

Behind the Decks: Navigating the Highs and Lows of DJ Life and Mental Health
Épisode 18
lundi 12 mai 2025 • Durée 58:27
Sarah engages with Saya in a candid conversation about her journey from a businesswoman to a successful DJ and radio broadcaster.

Sia shares her experiences with networking, the importance of hard work, and the often-overlooked realities of the nightlife scene, including the pressures of mental health and the impact of substance use. The episode also delves into the ongoing struggle for gender equality in the industry, the misconceptions surrounding female DJs, and the need for genuine support among peers. With a mix of personal anecdotes and industry insights, this episode highlights the complexities of pursuing a passion in a competitive and evolving landscape.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Passion and Hard Work: Turning a passion for music into a successful career as a DJ requires dedication, hard work, and continuous learning. The journey involves going back to school to learn DJing, music production, and radio broadcasting while balancing other business commitments.
Networking Importance: Building relationships through networking is crucial in the music industry. Attending festivals, engaging with others, and being visible can lead to unexpected opportunities, regardless of the size of the gig.
Challenges of Gender Labels: The label of "female DJ" is seen as reductive and unnecessary. The focus should be on talent and skill rather than gender, as the industry should strive for equality and recognition based on ability alone.
Mental Health Awareness: The pressures of being a DJ, including irregular hours, travel stress, and the expectation to perform energetically, can impact mental health. It's essential to prioritize self-care and maintain a healthy lifestyle to sustain a long-term career.
Industry Culture and Substance Use: There is a complex relationship with substance use in the nightlife and DJ culture. While some may view it as a part of the lifestyle, it poses significant risks to health and performance, highlighting the need for awareness and healthier coping mechanisms.

"I think there's still a label there. It's like, well, you're a mom, you're distracted, you have the baby there." - Sia
"I want you to focus on the music. I don't want you to focus on me." - Sia
"There's a lot of pressure to get from gig to another, planning, preparing." - Interviewer

With insights on the significance of health in entrepreneurship and the lessons learned from his past, this episode offers a thought-provoking exploration of self-improvement and resilience.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Evolving Mindset: The importance of evolving one's approach to health and fitness is emphasized. Many people struggle as they age because they cling to outdated methods instead of adapting their mindset and practices.
Confidence and Self-Perception: Achievements, such as being featured on the cover of Men's Health, can boost external confidence, but true self-worth comes from internal work. Relationships and personal growth require a solid foundation of self-acceptance.
Gradual Change: Transformation in health and lifestyle is a gradual process. It's essential to focus on small, consistent changes rather than expecting overnight results, especially in the context of personal development and fitness.
Purpose and Happiness: Finding a sense of purpose in one's work and life can significantly improve overall well-being. Engaging in activities that contribute positively to oneself and others can help shift focus away from destructive habits.
Risk vs. Safety: The decision-making process between taking risks and choosing safer options is crucial. Reflecting on what one's best future self would choose can guide individuals in making decisions that align with their long-term goals and aspirations.
BEST MOMENTS
Kirk Miller: "I think there's something to be said for that. A lot of people are very fixed on their one way of doing things, especially when it comes to health and fitness."
Kirk Miller: "I believe the universe tends to bring opportunities and things to you when you are so wholeheartedly you."
Kirk Miller: "If you're in shape, you generally have more energy. And if you have more energy, you get more done in less time."
Sarah: "Is there not a pressure on men... to have abs? What do you think of the dad bod?"
Kirk Miller: "I think a great question you can ask yourself is, what would my best future self say, do, or choose in this situation?"

The Emotional Toll of Fame: Insights on Mental Health in the Music World
Épisode 16
lundi 28 avril 2025 • Durée 55:06
Sarah welcomes a seasoned music industry professional Elias Mssawir, who has transitioned from a successful two-decade career in music to becoming an investor and advisor in various sectors, including technology and wellness. Elias shares insights into their journey, starting from their early exposure to music through their brother in Lebanon, to managing high-profile artists and navigating the complexities of the music industry. They discuss the darker aspects of the industry, including mental health challenges faced by artists, and the lack of education and support within the system. The conversation also touches on the guest's upcoming book, which aims to shed light on the realities of the music business, and their reflections on family, personal growth, and the vibrant culture of Dubai.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Transition from Music to Investment: After a successful two-decade career in the music industry, including roles in artist and tour management, there was a significant shift towards becoming an investor, facilitated by prior investments in tech companies.
Mental Health in the Music Industry: The music industry is described as increasingly dark, with artists often feeling pressured to perform regardless of their mental health. This has led to a growing concern about the lack of support for artists struggling with mental health issues.
Lack of Education and Experience: There is a notable deficiency in the music industry regarding the education and experience of individuals in key roles, particularly in A&R (Artist and Repertoire). This lack of expertise is seen as detrimental to the development of new talent in the MENA region.
Authenticity and Media Influence: The industry is criticized for its reliance on media manipulation, where artists can pay to be featured in top lists, undermining genuine talent and success. This creates a superficial environment that prioritizes image over substance.
Importance of Family Support: Family plays a crucial role in personal and professional life, providing support and grounding during challenging times. The value of strong family relationships is emphasized as a key factor in navigating the pressures of the music industry.
BEST MOMENTS
"I wanted to have a stable life. I lived the rebel, the hardcore life for a long time and I'm like, I'm done with that."
"Artists got abused heavily in the industry... If you're depressed, sick, I don't know what, nobody cares. You have to come out on stage and do your thing."
"The current lineup of people in offices are super not educated with zero experience in how they do their jobs and roles in the industry."
"I became an advisor board member for a couple of projects... I’m a very big nerd when it comes to AI and technology."
"If you as an artist decide to quit... you get shelved. They just put you in a place where you just don't produce music anymore."
