Exploring the World of Silent Disco with Jason Gorley
Welcome to Action’s Antidotes, your antidote to the mindset that keeps you settling for less. For most of my life, I’ve had these competing pursuits of wanting to kind of foster people’s individuality but also build community at the same time and one of the problems I encountered was I’d always thought of these particular pursuits as competing with one another, you’re either becoming more close but becoming less individual or going in the opposite direction. My guest today is Jason Gorley of CiferNoise Productions and what they do is they do silent discos, which is one of the areas where I’ve seen people allow people to have an individual experience while also coming together.

Jason, welcome to the program.

 

Hey, thanks for having me.

 

Yeah, no problem. Yeah, thank you for coming on. Yeah, describe the silent disco experience and what motivated you to kind of bring this into the world.

 

Thanks for asking. A lot of things motivated me to bring this into the world but let’s start with silence disco is it’s a unique experience that anyone can travel down with headphones but also, it’s not just wearing headphones, it’s having the options to choose what you’re listening to at a particular event.

How I got into it, I went to a school that partied a lot and I loved throwing parties. University of Arizona, bear down.

 

Oh, yeah, that is known for its party atmosphere, for sure.

 

Yeah, yeah, we do party a lot down there, especially those who don’t even go to college. I always had a knack of wanting to bring people together.

The greatest thing is just watching people smile after they leave your events.

I’ve always been a people person or gathering people together and putting them in little areas for them to hang out in. So, when I got into my adulthood life, more 30s, leaving the telecom industry, I wanted to find something more invigorating, I guess one would say, and I tell people I got into this on a push from an ex-girlfriend and a cover letter. So that’s a really good punch line.

 

A push from an ex-girlfriend, and a cover letter. Now, I don’t know about anyone listening but I usually don’t think of cover letters as leading to anything fun. It’s one of the BS processes, or parts of the job finding process so you have to tell me about how an ex-girlfriend push and a cover letter brought you too silent disco.

 

Yeah, just like everything else in this world, you got to start from the bottom. I guess during that time in my life and it’s starting to get more look far off in the past, yeah, she was the one that encouraged me to or pushed me to be like,
