‘One of the things I hope is that I can be an inspiration to so many people who say, “Oh, I don’t have time. I can’t do it.” If I can do it, then you can do it too,’ he said.

In February 2024, he released a 10-track guided meditation album titled Total Meditation.
After celebrating his milestone 50th birthday, he decided to change his lifestyle and used meditation to quiet his anxiety.
‘Turning 50, looking at my life, looking at my marriage and a lot of things, and trying to move on adn get through those things,’ he told NPR last year.
He has even cut out drinking amid his health and fitness journey.
He still DJs at clubs and when asked about working in that environment, he said that clubbing can be ‘therapeutic.
‘You have to look at the club as a release,’ he explained.
‘Some people need to be in social settings around others. Some people need to be with their friends and family.’
He added: ‘Music is therapeutic as well. Dancing is therapeutic as well. It’s good for the soul, good for the mind. So it works out for me, you know — I can still do it.
‘And I’m spreading good energy to people: I’m giving them good times, with the meditation and with the club.’
