In this episode, I sit down with my long-time friend Kelsie Johnson aka DJ Rosie J, who went from uncertainty and setbacks to building her own thriving DJ business in just 12 months.
Just a year ago, she had no equipment, no venues, and no clear path forward—now she’s booked solid, running her own events, and was even voted Best Local DJ in Lee’s Summit!
We get real and raw about:
🔥 The struggles of starting a business from scratch (and the moments she almost quit)
🔥 How the right support system and mindset shifts made all the difference
🔥 The lessons she learned about resilience, networking, and pushing through self-doubt
🔥 The behind-the-scenes reality of building a DJ brand from the ground up
If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of your next move, this episode will give you the motivation you need to keep going—no matter what stage of business you’re in.
🎙️ Tune in now and get inspired by Kelsey’s journey!

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
