We had the good fortune of connecting with Dj Bostick and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Dj, other than deciding to work for yourself, what was the single most important decision you made that contributed to your success?
Moving into a home this year has allowed me to drive numbers through the roof. I moved all my clients to my home gym and cut out my overhead for gym rent. I also built a music studio in my house so that I can cut cost and maximize time when recording. I also conduct interviews from my studio and have shot visuals for multiple concepts right from the comfort of my home .

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
My name is DJ Bostick aka “Kountup”. I create music for the masses that motivate the streets and the hustlers who want to take their life to the next life. I speak on real life topic and experiences not only through my music but through my visuals as well. My business partner Nick Wilkerson and I founded the company Blinded World LLC which is an acronym for believe love invest and determine every destiny. Our brand is a lifestyle company that develops garments that gives individuals a sense of inspiration through clothing and products. Blinded World is the major umbrella that all other projects and endeavors fall under. All music and video productions are released under Blinded World LLC . I have taken the time to write and release my first book titled “Halfway to Halftime” which is out now on Amazon. The book is also available in audio format on streaming platforms. This book will help propel you forward in life when trying to develop a winners mindset

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
If my close friends were to visit me I would take them to eat healthy at one of my favorite restaurants called FitFoodies Bistro in Austell. I would take them to cascade skating rink on a Sunday night to show them a fun and exciting time around the ATL skate culture. Making new friendships and networking is important to me so I’d be sure to introduce them to my personal mentors in business, fitness, music, and fashion, I would be sure they left my city going home with new contacts. Lastly it would be vital that we had a great workout with trainer BuiltByBostick at his gym located in Marietta.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I would like to dedicate this to my mother whom I lost August 30, 2021. She made me a stronger man and gave me the courage to write my first book “Halfway to Halftime” out on Amazon.
