I just have lived the absolute most incredible life. And if I didn't believe that I should try, I wouldn't have done any of it. There's so much left for you to do that you should do it. You should jump right on board.
Why a hypnotist? Like of all the things, I find that the conversations that I've listened to from people at podcasts or whatever, you know, different interviews, I find hypnotists to be – and I know you do a lot of things. It's not the only thing that you do. I know that. But that particular skill set I find very intriguing because I think – I think there may be a general perception of hypnotism that's like, ah, this is foo-foo-y or it's all bullshit. But my understanding and in the research that I've done just because I'm so interested in human psychology is that you're tapping into things that people just don't realize our brains work certain ways and they don't necessarily understand. So it's not a trick necessarily.
You're using a skill set to unlock certain –
How did Danny Zzzz transition from radio to hypnotherapy?
we'll call it motivations or activations in a human that are always there. You just, you do it in a way that might make a situation funny or interesting or entertaining, et cetera. But what, what drew you into that? Was it a love for psychology or was it just like, shit, hypnotism sounds fun. I'll, I'll do that.
It was none of those. I was a morning show broadcaster on a radio station in Niagara called 97.7 Hits FM. I was Danimal on 97.7 Hits FM. You know, you slide right into that role. And I also was a business owner of all things. I owned a chain of tattoo shops. So I went to work at 3.30 in the morning as a radio broadcaster. My show wrapped up about 9.30 in the morning. I'd get a couple hours sleep and then I'd open up my business at 12 o'clock, 1 o'clock, 2 o'clock. I'd city jump to each one and open up the businesses. And then when they were open, I'd go back and sleep for a couple hours. Then I would close the businesses, sleep a couple hours, and then get back into radio. And I did that for many years because anybody who's in business knows that a successful business doesn't just happen.
It takes a lot of work. And I supplemented the growth of that business by working in broadcasting. And after a number of years of doing it, one day I stopped sleeping. And when I say I stopped, I stopped. I didn't sleep for weeks, about six weeks. and not for a minute or two minutes or five minutes no minutes and my skin turned gray and my hair started to fall out and my fingernails discolored i was dying i mean that sincerely my body was shutting down without being able to stop and i went to a number of sleep clinics and a number of doctors and in the very end there was a small portion of my brain that makes rem work And the doctor's choice was to give me a pill. I was going to become a Neo. I was going to take the blue pill in the morning and the red pill at night.
Like that was going to be my life. And having never been on a pill taker, a drug user or any of those things, it just didn't feel right to me. Like I just didn't want to be the guy that had to take pills every day to exist. And a friend of mine said, you should see a hypnotherapist. And I was really at my wits end. So I went and seen a hypnotherapist. And in about 50 minutes, they cured me. And it was so impactful. It changed my life so significantly that I quit everything. And I went and became a hypnotherapist. That's how it worked. It changed my life so dramatically in one hour that I quit radio. I reduced my hours at the tattoo shops and I went back to school and became a hypnotherapist and just poured myself into the neurological triggers of the subconscious mind.
What challenges did Danny face during his journey to success?
And it just affected me in such a fashion that I knew that it was something that I needed to do. As time went on I became a hypnotist as an entertainer. I mean it was a great field to be in especially backing myself in radio broadcasting and being the type of person that I was.
