Josh Donaldson Talks 20+ Yrs in Music, Life Lessons as a Suicide Survivor & Suicide Prevention (When The Music Stops)
Thursday, September 16, 2021 • Duration 01:30:02
On today’s show, I have the man, the myth, the legend, Josh Donaldson, founder of “When The Music Stops” and former tour manager of the World’s Biggest DJ, and at one point, “Las Vegas’s hand to shake” in the scene. Josh has toured the world, opened some of the biggest Vegas hotels in nightlife, and was the first person to book artists like Drake in Vegas in a prior life. However, what seemed like the most glamorous life filled with money, success, and beautiful women, was filled with moments that contributed to Josh’s depression and even suicidal thoughts.
After his attempt to end his life, he sought treatment and help to overcome his demons and depression, as well as becoming the face and founder of “When The Music Stops”, a suicide prevention community and non-profit organization aimed at supporting mental health, emotional health, and suicide prevention through music, connection and love.
It is a heavier show than normal and I challenge you to hear Josh’s story in entirety and the ways that he has chosen to help himself and others become their best selves. I know you can probably relate to many things within in this show and if you’re able to contribute to this incredible organization in any way, Josh & “When The Music Stops” would greatly appreciate your support!!
If you could please rate, review and share this episode with others, I would be so grateful And to talk about this or anything on the podcast, find me on instagram at @atxconcertqueen or shoot me an email at hello@atxconcertqueen.com.
Now without further ado, enjoy this show with Josh Donaldson!
PSA: It's Not Ok To Pretend Like It's All Ok, Photoshoot Aftermath & Be On The Lookout
Wednesday, August 25, 2021 • Duration 47:02
On today's show, I talk about two pressing things that have been weighing on my heart. It's not a comfortable thing to talk about but as we continue to go out and attend events, concerts and festivals, it must be known that the behaviors of some individuals is completely uncalled for. Most recently, I've had 2 friends get drugged in the last month, and I myself have been drugged 3 x's since living in Austin. This is happening everywhere and it needs to stop.
I talk about these specific situations in detail, and how we need to normalize these conversations so others can look out for each other and know that they're not alone.
