It is so easy to forget that 300 views on YT means that a whole film theatre is watching you.
We have to start somewhere. It's the passion for the craft that helps to persevere.
Great Insight
Thank you for sharing. I haven't looked at it that way before. 👌🏻
Thanks for the reminder :)
Upwards and onwards
so true
Focus on yourself, on what you have right in front of you, be present, be grateful. Stop comparing yourself to others, create your own path, your own route to success !

Love this:)
Whoever is reading this may you attract good health, wealth and abundance in your life.
😘u too
You too my brother ❤️
Right back at ya! Stay Great
Same to you, my friend!
Same to you my friend
I absolutely love that he said if they’re only five people into what I was doing them those are my five people that’s why focus on people. So many of us, myself included, get wrapped up in who hasn’t noticed yet, who isn’t our customer yet, who isn’t our fan yet. And we miss out on the key to earning the 1000 true fans
36:00 for that segment
steve aoki is a legend
such a humble and likeable guy
Legend is a very big word for this dude. He is not even respected in his area of expertise. How is he a legend?
Uuuhhhh, not even respected?! Please! This is Steve freakin' Aoki, lol! He is respected by his peers, and he is bankin'.
@What is Reality You're right about that. If/when they get ensnared, they go whole hog. But for someone to say he's not respected is just kinda not true. His bankroll says differently.
But you're right, the "rock star" status of actors, athletes, and musicians in this country leaves a bit of Goodwill to be desired... Okay, a lot of good will to be desired :-) The system is no bueno.
FACTS
Man I swear this show has become part of my life and I swear I can see the change that has occurred by listening ....
Wow, so rare to see DJ’s in such philosophical and thought provoking interviews / outside of the music industry machine - what an interesting and sweet guy. This was great to wake up to today! 💝
I dont have personal Facebook, Instagram or Twitter, just UA-cam as i learn so much :)
same and that's more than enough :D
41 is still very young, keep it 20 yrs later is something. Actually never heard about Steve before.
Managing my expectations....Right into the goal. My man, I love his eyes, they are so true.
Yes. So beautiful.
He seems approachable, humble and a legend. He has many but many more years of success and happiness.
I just watched his Netflix documentary.. it's really good!
Go watch it if you haven't.. very inspiring no matter what your goals are in life.
What's it called
Saw Steve Aoki 2010 oxygen festival in Ireland.
It was absolutely incredible.
Such a great interview with Steve,
We never get bored of his shows. 🔥🔥🔥
What a humble & cool guy. A Japanese friend once told me a Japanese proverb "The nail that sticks out get's hammered down" he told me that in his culture Japanese conform and don't express as much as the west do. Aoki is an awesome example why Japanese should burn that Proverb.
Your work is fantastic, Steve! Thanks so much for everything!
First time hearing and seeing this guy, happy that he found his path and is so humble and in tuned with himself
Everytime when it pops up on my phone, that you published a new episode I am curious to see where you are going to go with your next guest. Hammer!!!
Wow hearing his story about his upbringing and his dad relates to me so much, I loved this video! 🙌🏻
Tom ... you prep so well and that adds to the impact ... well done ... I get a lot out of your interviews ... thank you
I didn't hear much about ditching social media, but I still loved every min
So freaking good. I dont spend a lot of time watching videos on YT but I love it when I find good ones like this that actually have meaning behind it. Thank you Tom and Steve, Legends.
Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you so much for this inspirational interview with Steve!
Wow! What a badass interview. Thank you so much to you both. 😃🙏❤️
Steve Aoki is a true inspiration
Having Steve Aokis cake thrown on me in the crowd was a highlight moment of my life lol
Ha ha ha.... You are a celebrity.... Enjoy it while it lasts...
Haha liar haha
And I thought i am the only Punjabi around 🤣
you need a better life dude.
So inspiring. Thank you for this deep conversation guys!
Great advices! it feels so realistic when people build their dreams from the scratch. The message is that through extremely hard work, you can achieve any goal in this life.
Killer interview! Love what you’re doing. Your work is super motivating and inspiring. Thanks a lot man!
AMAZING INTERVIEW. big respect to him for keeping working hard at it, expending and make more available to us. x
Steve Aoki is a legend and I have total respect for him but his dad is/was extremely wealthy. Worse comes to worse, he really did not have to suffer. He had that option. Many people out there do not. This fact also plays on your mindset and stress levels which directly impacts your craft or whatever you are set to accomplish
Knowing that one has a safety net makes immense difference on how one is going to proceed through life. It is a psychological dividend. Survival always comes first, and most people have no option but to tow the line. One can dare to venture outside of the common path if they know the bottom line is not skid row. I have taken the road less traveled. But I have also kept track of the opportunity cost to my decision, which was considerable. The consolation is that what I chose to do is also monumental, even though only a few know about it or appreciate it. Still waiting for the magic leap, even after almost three decades.
He is so beautiful. Been casually watching him for years. Amazing how his career has blossomed. So happy you brought him. Keep mixing it up!!
Tom, love your interviews-thank you
What a legend....really enjoyed the interview.....I am such a fan of Steve as a Person....he is a real aspiration.
Amazing Interview! Tom, your explanation of impact theory at the end was so powerful.
Thank you Tom, You are one of my favorite people. Every episode is better than the previous one, great content. I Love You Tom.
This interview was so lit. Steve is so authentic! Also, Tom thanks for doing what you do. . . I know that neither of you ever have to work again but you still give of yourselves to help others achieve greatness!
That final question was probably the best moment I've seen on this show 'so, I reckon we have to close with that. What's your impact.' Big fan of this, all music aside.Top chats, top dudes..iconic.
The work that Tom does is just mind blowing to me. I am continually propelled to the next thing. The next level. Thank you so so much for all your hard work to make this happen for all of us!
Good work Tom!!! What a guest!!!!! 🙌👏
Superb interview and beautiful words! Definitely a pleasure to see Aoki play in Sydney, Las Vegas and Belgium. Looking forward to see inspiring Tom live in Sydney in February 2020!!!
This might be my favorite episode!!!
Steves a legend. Really enjoyed this interview.
Steve's point of being "GRATEFUL" and "PRESENT", I'd add to that it's about being "HUMBLE" even after success, and not "ENTITLED".
I don't even listen to his style of music much.. But I've always found him very fascinating as a person and now hearing his perspective on life and being an artist.
I admire him even more.. What a great person.
Mannn I love love love when I find just what I needed when I needed it !!! ❤️ thank you thank you
“Dougieee!!” I love how Tom can make me feel, saying someone else’s name ♥️
These interviews are always inspiring, but I found this even more so. I loved it.
I also really liked that you could tell how good friends you two are, it was nice to watch. :) Thanks for always doing these.
Love Steve Aoki and his humility. He is so humble, he is interesting! Good job, he is not cocky and is kind.
Thank you Tom for inspiring us! Halima from Algeria.
Thanks so much for sharing, really needed to hear this today :)
I say it short: I LOVE THIS VIDEO with you Tom & Steve!
Very human! Much Love!
Now this is why love this show,Dude Steve Aokiiiiii😯
Two amazing guy's - Loved this !
*Listening on New Year's Day 2020!*
Such a great interview. So interesting to hear about his feelings comparing his life vs how at this age and time-his parents had children at the age he is now and he does not have any.. I think of those same things in my own life.
GREAT - GREAT- GREAT INTERVIEW, THANK YOU 💯‼️👍👍👍
Its all about being present and making it meaningful.
Thank you @steve and Tom.
This comment!
Older people were shy kids with a lot of hidden talent too. You can change and contribute at ANY age!
I love Steve soke thank you for changing my life Tom
Amazing I admire him a lot. I’m proud of being Japanese as well. Love you Steve!!!
Another great interview Tom👍
Very inspiring. I must say that i was never a fan of aoki with the exception of a couple of tracks (azukita, lady daddi, neón future), but after this interview and getting him to known a bit better, IM A FAN! Great interview and uplifting 🔥
Tom men, that part where you describe your why and why Steve at the end, min 43 more or less, was beautiful...
I actually met your dad Rocky once and always remember him bc he was so charasmatic & likeable. my dad knew him bc they were both in the restaurant industry. interestingly my dad also used to tell us about the japanese saying "the tallest nail gets pounded down" . I wonder if he got that from your dad lmao
Hah, Cool!
Tom does the best intros!!! Love it
I’m a DJ at cocktail bars and restaurants. In the first 5 minutes Aoki shits on my whole career. “There’s no appreciation there”. Thanks for the motivational talk
I digg Steve! He's a phenomenal guy!
Hiyaz from Albuquerque! :) Much Love to you both. I shared this talk with my 24 year old son...I love your enthusiasm.
It's easy to see why Steve Aoki is so successful. He remains humble, even after all those wonderful achievements. He keeps on starting conversations with other musicians and music business people, wherever he happens to be. And he's on the road most of the time. That kind of an attitude towards collaboration will boost any career.
Love this interview . Made a a big fan of both of them
Made me a big fan of both of them
Really helpful. I appreciate it completely 😃
I was one of those 5 people at Steve Aoki's concert in vegas and he threw his shirt at me! I have it on video, it means alot to me
32:45 (ish) "I go into it knowing that 70% of the things I want to do aren't going to happen, even at my level. But I am going to always aim high. People see the 30%, no one sees the 70% of not making it or not getting what you want." - Writing this down and aiming high. Thank you, Steve.
Thank you for your videos from Romania
finally someone familiar:))
I went to his concert last night and I’m a new person … I will now build the life I want to live
Please have more guests in the music business. Love this episode
Steve is one of the most balanced and talented men of this generation!
We love you Steve !
love this guy
Very true what you see in social mead is just 10% of all 100 % that is totally gold!!
I love this interview I haven’t seen Steve in so long… I’m really surprised on these panels how much no one talks about all the females that encouraged these men throughout time… Stevie, I knew you in 1999 in Santa Barbara… And I definitely encouraged you not only to go see my show at the State Street theater… But also to be an amazing DJ throughout the world… Then I ran into you with the Hurst twins… And encouraged all of you… It’s like nobody sees the cheerleaders that have been there the entire time… People really sleep on female energy that seems to have been Falling on deaf ears. Take it back to females… Encourage each other now!
Cool episode!
When he said don't stick your head up it literally represents the Japanese proverb perfectly "the nail that sticks out gets Hammered down"
Wow, I love this. Thank you! :)
40:58- 43:43- Give it up to the greatest interviewer of our generation.
Steve is so relatable to multi generations!
Looking healthy Tom!
Tom is quite the wordsmith. Apparently a terrific writer.
Inspiring!
Now what would be amazing is a conversation with Tom, and Steve Aoki the guest.
This guys cool at 17:36. Great 👍🏼 interview.
I can appreciate Steve's hustle and entrepreneurial grit, and I am in awe in his amassed masses. I have absolutely no derogatory view on the usage of mind altering drugs to change one's perspective on our rigid/rational life (and I think certain herds of our society could benefit from doing so). I prefer not to do so on my own mission to determine how far I can use my concept of Bi-Manual Artistic Development to unlock creative and analytical potentiality through neural stimulation....naturally (other than a bit of wine each night). My concern is that the massive flock of Steve's audience when attending his music events are doing so with the expectation of heightening or sensationally altering their consciousness through not just music, but mostly through artificial neural-chemical alteration with MDMA. Though I see that most of the people that use MDMA have a heightened sense of euphoria and "love", I believe this emotional state is somewhat fabricated in a "test-tube" incubation and doesn't stem from real, evolutionary developed and necessary cohesive adaptation functions of the mind and soul that makes humans...more human. Would love to hear Steve's thought on this and what might be the ramification of a society led to believe altruistic love is only a Pill and some Beats away.
43:44 - How do you follow up with that response lol It like going after someone who just crushed it on stage at the talent show lol - Tom's deeper purpose is amazing
I sure hope your path crosses with the incredible AU5!
start your self
This is so helpful - thanks. I don't know how to get money just to survive......... With what I do. How to give value or be seen etc
Legend🙏
So that part where he says his dad was a showman but didnt want that for him, i think what his dad was trying to do was to protect him. A showman doesnt happen instantly. It takes time, maturity and wisdom something that a young child, teen and young adult doesnt have. Luckily, in his case, it def paid off because of his understanding of life and his inner desire of express himself thrpugh music. Its just something people are either born with or not. Most people comfirm.very few step out. And thats what makes musicians, actors, etc ecceptional. They have this crazy drive to keep going no matter what.
