Taking Action: An Inspiring Life Of An Engineer By Day And DJ By Night With Carina Lopez

I am beyond excited because I have a super inspiring guest with an inspiring story. We have in the house DJ Caribbeats, Carina Lopez. She's an Engineer by day and a DJ by night. Welcome, Carina. We are super excited to have you.

Thank you so much, Yanet. I'm happy to be here.

I want our audience to know more about you. What is your background?

I'm an Environmental Engineer by day and a DJ by night. I am known as DJ Caribbeats. I was born and raised in Puerto Rico, Dominican parents. I have the best of both islands. I've been in Houston for several years.

A lot of these shows are about people with inspiring stories that have an unconventional path. An Engineer by day, a DJ by night, that is so inspiring that you are doing both at the same time. Many people are afraid to merge or do a hybrid of their careers. I would love to know all about it. Tell me, what is your career background? What has been your career path?

I was born and raised in Puerto Rico. We're very close to nature and protecting nature. I have a passion to protect the environment. I had a great teacher in high school. I always talk about it because it's important to have mentors. I told her, "I want to protect the environment." She said, "If you become an Engineer, people are going to listen to you. You're more than a scientist because you get to make more decisions." I said, "I'll be an engineer."

I ended up being an environmental engineer. It's been one of the best decisions I've done in my whole life. I truly feel I picked the right career. I grew up on scholarships. I never had to pay to go in a career that ended up being one of the most important careers with the whole carbon management. It's something that I truly loved. I've been doing it for several years. When I graduated from college, I decided to focus on getting all my Engineering certifications, my EIT Engineering Training, my PE, and all that, and make my mom happy.

I graduated. I had to prove myself. I get all my Engineering certifications. I was buying equipment, but it wasn't until the pandemic started that I took it more seriously. It was more about the realization that the next day was not granted. I've had this fire in my heart for my whole life. I keep looking at pictures. When you're in workshops, and they ask you, "What do you want to do?" I always picture myself as a little kid teaching. It was that realization that, "If I'm not going to do it, when is it going to happen?"

We are getting to know each other. This is the first time we see each other face-to-face. It's fun. Who else other than entrepreneurs make that happen at night? You didn't know I was, but we are here sharing super inspiring stories. I made this transition and knew I was ready because a super close relative had died. When he passed away from cancer, it was a realization of exactly what you said. “Life is so fragile and temporary.” What are we doing with this precious life? Let's make it count.

Especially if you have that fire inside you, and it's so clear. What do you do with it?

It is so important. I feel even in moments where you are challenged, and you are like, "Can I do this?" That fire still tells you, "You can do this. Do not quit. Keep going."

It's very scary.

It's like, "Am I hearing a voice?" You're an Engineer by day, DJ by night. Since the pandemic started, I have read three articles of you. I'm like, "How do you get there?"

I have a great support system. I join the Champions Club. It's a gym for leaders. They helped me a lot through the transition and pushed me. It's something that women do a lot, but it is true. It's always good to show appreciation and be thankful for the people that supported you through the most fragile stages of your life when you're making all these scary moves. That was Champions Club for me. They have a lot of connections in media as well. That has helped me a lot with my SEO, with my Google searches. That's how it all came out there.

How did you get plugged in into that community? As a new entrepreneur, how did you get there? I find that being challenging, finding the right people.

It's always good to show appreciation and be thankful for the people that supported you.

 

Nothing is a coincidence. That's why I'm so happy to be here. The right people just come into your life, but you have to be intentional about what you're looking for because it can be confusing. It can look like something else, but if it's not aligned with your priorities, you can confuse it. If you have your priorities clear, you'll know when the right people walk into your life. You'll hold on to them, and they'll hold on to you. At the end of the day, we're all looking to put into action what we're called to do. If we can inspire more people to do the same, let's do it.

In one of the articles, I read that you always knew since you were a kid that DJ was a thing. That's something that even my coaching clients and I realized that childhood is an important piece of finding and living your purpose. Tell me more about it.

The funny thing is that you don't realize until you are older. I've always mixed in my life. Everybody recorded music on the radio, we all did that. I also started mixing. All I had was a sound recorder or a desktop computer. I mix my own songs and also do the transitions. I will get the mic and do the scratch sound and put two songs together because I was mixing. My parents will support that. The radio was mine. They would get me the cassettes or the CDs, and the computer.

Getting that reaffirmation when you're a child always comes back to you. You always think, "What did I use to do that made me so happy, and why am I not doing it? When did it happen?" I always knew this was what I wanted to do. I've always mixed. I mix all the songs from all my field days, my graduations. I've always mixed them. It takes a while to do it when you're older.

Gary Vee always says, "It's until 30 that you start realizing and taking intentional decisions to leave your purpose." You start realizing that part of your life that you have lived is not what you wanted. Sometimes you need to experience what you don't want even to align more to what you want, which was that childhood dream you now live and take action on. Isn't that crazy?

Yes. Sometimes I wish I would've done it way before. I'm also thankful that somewhere in there, I took action because something that I realized is that once you take action, everything flows. I went from 0 to 100. I work almost every day, but it's so effortless.

Before the pandemic, were you taking action before on and off or not at all?

I've always felt I had to prove myself and get my professional engineering life. I took that test three times and failed two times. The third time I did it, I felt I was a free woman. I was 27 at the time. I was like, "I can be a DJ." The first thing I did was I went to the guitar center, and I bought a controller. It's so funny because it's self-inflicted pressure. I could have started way before. Why did I feel I had to wait?

It was very on and off because I was still dabbling into it. I bought equipment and music. I did all kinds of stuff. It wasn't until the pandemic that I said, "I'm going to learn." DJ Ill-Set plays an important role because she said, "Do you want to open for me?" I said, "Okay." I didn't even know how to do vinyl at that time. I had read a book called Year of Yes. You say yes and figure it out. It was the scariest thing ever. That's how it all started. I found people on the way.

I was listening to this interview with Sarah Blakely and Tony Robbins. She always said, "It is good not to know how because you can make it your own. You can figure it out yourself and make it special." That makes total sense. Many people are focused on having all the pieces figured out before taking action, right?

Yeah. Perfectionism doesn't work, and I'm a professional.

It's an illusion.

I struggle with perfectionism, and I put a lot of pressure on myself, but the best thing is to have been when I don't do it.

You don't let that stop you anymore. You know better.

Let's say I have a lot of growth potential.

That's good because we are always growing until we die, whatever that day is. You were on and off with DJing. What beliefs do you have to overcome to get you where you were? In the pandemic, this may sound crazy because a lot of people could have said the pandemic, that's not even a good time to start, and you went for it. What beliefs do you have about yourself?

The biggest belief was I never doubted that this was what I wanted to do. I don't know exactly what I'm doing, but I'm going to do it. I'm going to stick to it, and we'll see where it goes because you have to start somewhere. One of my biggest beliefs was to keep going. I didn't know where I was going. I started on Twitch. I did virtual shows on Friday, and then I got strangers saying, "Come every Friday. Continue doing that." I was, "Strangers like my show. Maybe that's something I need to continue.”

That's a sign.

I recognize it to get that validation, but it's also believing that, "I don't know how this looks, and it's super scary again, but I'm going to continue doing it." Then, I did it.

Would you say that taking that action allowed you to gain even further clarity in terms of your path?

It's taking the smallest action. I didn't have the right equipment. I didn't have the right music. My mixing was all over the place. Once you start doing it, you start getting feedback. You have to be open to feedback and say, "I can improve here. Let me work on that. Give me an opportunity." You need to believe in yourself, even if you're shaking, to do it. You're going to take that and be better the next time. I did that. Many times, I was shaking.

I came back from a BakerRipley competition for pitching your business. When I went in, I wanted one thing with my business. I wanted to DJ. I came out, and I thought, "There are so many things that I can do with this, so many ways to branch this out to make it an even bigger business that may not even depend on me." It's not a one-time thing. Gaining clarity is a process. If you are open to continuous learning, it is crazy.

You evolve. You keep evolving and evolving.

I would never think of a business without me DJing. I'm like, "I could train people. I can grow this in a different way." It makes sense.

Something that I'm working on is a digital course on helping people on finding their purpose and align their careers to their purpose. You can have a digital course on how to DJ. That's a digital product. I'm here to give you an idea. You can put that together to show people that don't have any experience, maybe come be a beginner. You're right. When you get exposed to the right people and opportunities and take action, your mind is blown out of the possibilities.

You said it well. You have to take action. That's what I was missing before. I wasn't doing enough. I thought I had to have it all figured out. Once you get the pressure of somebody else saying, "Come and do it," then it changes. It forces you to take action.

A teacher told you that Engineering is a much sought-out position. It's like, "You're an engineer. That's awesome. You're super smart." Was there a piece of external validation you had to overcome when transitioning into that DJ phase of being an Engineer or DJ? How have you dealt with others' expectations and opinions of you? A lot of people care about what others might think.

I'm not going to lie. I still struggle. I'm finding the balance between communicating that to people. Maybe this is my internal belief that I have to overcome. I feel like if you don't have a family or kids, you're supposed to be 150% into your job. It's hard to share that, "My family's not here. My family is back in Puerto Rico. This is me. What I enjoy doing outside my time it's not going to the park. It's going to DJ."

It's so unconventional. It's so different. People are not used to it. It's something that I don't share a lot within the company. Whenever I do, people are super supportive and happy about it. I've gotten tons of emails. I'm like, "Thank you so much." Everybody knows. It gives me an advantage because I succeeded in a male-dominated industry.

You've succeeded in both ways. Engineering has improved, but it's male-dominant, and DJing is also very male-dominant. You're a trailblazer. You're like, "I'm here."

At the end of the day, we're all looking to put into action what we're called to do. If we can inspire more people to do the same, then let's do it.

 

This is the thing. That's one belief. My mom never told me, "You can't." Nobody ever did. Here I am doing what I feel is what I want to do. I never had to deal with anybody telling me, "You can't," which is important because I realize other people have to deal with those things. It was like, "You can be whatever you want to be. Be an Engineer first." "Okay, Mom.”

You're like, “I'm taking this seriously. Let's buy the controller next.” I understand that setting boundaries has been important in terms of timing. You got to maintain a full-time job and a DJing job. Take us in a day or maybe a week. What happens with weekdays and weekends? Tell us about your schedule.

I'm always on the go. If I'm not on the go, I get sad. I still have to see how I deal with that. I will wake up, make coffee every day, and work. I go about my day. One thing that I'm very lucky about is I've been doing my job for long enough that I'm comfortable doing it. I know what I have to do and when to do it. I've been blessed to work from home to be super-efficient and not go back and forth for two hours to do my job. I'm usually trying to prepare music during the week.

Even before I came here, while I was still working, I was listening to music, but now instead of listening to random music on Spotify, I listen to my own songs. I'm like, "That's a great song. I like that," to get to know my own library. I use my time more efficiently instead of allowing all kinds of inputs throughout my day. That's one example. I used to go to the gym very regularly. Now it's very difficult for me, but I try to go Wednesdays, work out, come back and work in music and then repeat. I work every evening. I have to leave early, set up, come back, put all the equipment away and then do the same the next day.

That's the thing. I am very particular with my time because it is the one thing that I cannot buy. I'm very selective with what I do with my free time. If I'm not working, not being productive or teaching somebody investing in something worth it, it's hard for me to hang out and do nothing. I feel like part of doing both is being clear on my priorities. If it doesn't fit with that I’ll be knowing when to say no.

This community is purpose-driven. You need to have an intention or a purpose for everything.

Sometimes I wish I could have more fun. That time is going to come. I'm living my dream. That's why I don't need to waste my time on other things. I'm so happy doing what I've always wanted to do.

I have a question for you. Does it get overwhelming ever to always be in the go, full-time, this and that? How do you work through that usually?

It's very overwhelming. The show must go on. Why would I stop? The one thing that I've learned to do is set boundaries but to learn how to rest. If I'm not working or working. I blocked out my calendar where my friends were like, "We're going to go to brunch on Sunday." I'm like, "I'm sorry, I won't be able to make it." It's not like I had anything to do. I had to sleep in because it was my only day to sleep in. If I don't do it, I'm going to be driving that the whole week. It's part of knowing what you need. It gets very lonely sometimes.

I was going to tell you that. I'm so happy you brought that up. I've transitioned to full-time entrepreneurship. I'm trying to find that community. The path can be lonely because not everyone is taking this path, which is not easy. I would never tell anyone that it's easy, but it's the most fulfilling thing you can do for yourself.

You need to have a support system. People are always there for you, even the little things. I've had people that cook for me or take care of the stuff that's important for me so that I can keep going. Resting is so important. That's sacred to me.

It is so important. We are in this culture that we always think, even in corporate jobs or entrepreneurship, that it's "go, go, go." Sometimes that's the attitude that gets rewarded. I find myself resting, and I'm like, "I should be doing something." I feel guilty.

I feel that. I want to share something. I work with this amazing lady called Pretty. She always asks about my parents. She was like, "If something happens to you, you're going to get replaced. Spend time with your parents. Why aren’t you doing that more regularly?" I'm like, "That's right." I realized how refreshing it was to spend time with them. Go, go, go can be rewarding, but is it going to matter? If it's not going to matter, figure out what's going to matter. Put your time into it, like your family. I'm so glad I got to spend time with my family last week.

Did they come here?

No, I went back to Puerto Rico. I call it value-based spending. I'm either going to spend money or time. In this case, I was intentional in spending time with my parents. To me, it was the best thing to sit on the balcony and to talk, or do nothing, just talk. We had beers with snacks. I didn't even remember what we were talking about, but it's sitting in front of the balcony with the breeze, hanging out. That, to me, was so important.

It's being, not doing. One of my mentors says, "We are human beings, not human doings.” Isn't that true? We are "do, do, do" all the time, but sometimes you've got to be and allow the space for things to happen. That's something I'm working on. I need to make sure this happens. Sometimes you got to give that space.

In the entrepreneur community, it's hard to do that and decide when you are going to take that break. Go back to your value system. What do you value? Is it your family, rest or hanging out at the beach?

My fiancé and I were in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, because we had a wedding there. We got engaged the day before. The beach is a calming and grounding place. I loved it. It's healing. One year, what a huge transformation in your business. What mindset shifts have you made? How was Carina in terms of mindset in the past? How much have you grown mindset-wise? How much have you learned as an entrepreneur in this case?

That's a very tough question because you don't notice the changes. The main thing is knowing that it's going to be okay and you're going to do well.

What an important one.

I'm a very insecure person. I doubt myself a lot.

The fact that you admit that, I want to commend you for being vulnerable.

It is true. 

Many people struggle with that. I sometimes struggle and I have to do some therapy to myself in order to come out of there.

I am a perfectionist. That's something that Carina had to let go to have a fast turnaround to work, shift gears and present. One day, I'm doing a festival. The other day, I was doing a party. Another day, I'm doing a birthday. It's completely different energies that you have to bring. You don't have time to be a perfectionist. I've learned that it's more important to show up.

That's 80% of it. Show up.

Before, I thought, "I have to show up, but how am I going to do it? What are all the details?" Now, I'm like, "I'm here. I got my lashes on. Let's do it." That's more important. Get rid of that perfectionism because there's no time for it.

I invested in a course to know how to create a digital course. I truly believe in investing in yourself. One of my mentors always says, "We are not targeting an A+. We are targeting a B+, you all.” It's better to put it in the market and learn from it. You're not going to get it perfect unless you show up and learn from whatever you're doing. It's trial and error. I become wiser the more I show up, and I take action.

That is true. People who do would perfectly have been doing it forever. You think they started because that's when you realize they exist, but they've been doing it for a long time. You look at their posts, and you're like, "They’ve been doing reels forever." I noticed the one that went viral. It's more important to start. I knew that I had to start somewhere. I've also read somewhere that if you're not embarrassed by your first product, you started too late. I look back at my first product, and I'm like, "What was I thinking with that crop top?" But I was there on Twitch, getting it done.

A lot of people don't do it because of fear of embarrassment and what others might think. We are always seeking external validation versus internal fulfillment. What's important is what you want, what Carina wants. That way, the more you align, the more you thrive. I was reflecting on my career and the steps that I took. Earlier on in my career, I decided to go from a Process Engineer to working in a supply chain because I loved the work and people more.

Sometimes, you need to experience what you don't want in order to even align more to what you want.

 

A lot of people told me, "You're going to earn a lot less in the supply chain." I was making six figures. I'm like, "Whatever. I'm going to do something I'm passionate about." After four years in the supply chain, I was earning more than the people who stayed back and hated what they were doing. Isn't that crazy? The more you align and trust yourself and seek that internal fulfillment, the better you're going to do. It's a universal law, which I came up with.

It's true. That's why once you start, you take action. Everything flows. You'll notice, trust me.

I was reading one of your articles in my research. You had a DJ mentor.

I've had a couple of OG DJs that I've learned from during my career. DJ Ill-Set was the first one that gave me the opportunity. David Cruz taught me how much to charge. Do you know how important that is?

I don't want you to go into details, but what has been your finance mindset in terms of charging people for different events?

Before I ran my numbers, I was very inconsistent. Once I put it into paper and say, "How many am I doing? What type of gig? What equipment am I bringing?" I put targets. I blew them off. It's so crazy that once you put it into paper, it happens. Before I was doing things, she was doing all things, but when I said, "Hold on. What am I looking for? Where am I going to focus?" It just happened.

I have a manager. He helps me get all the gigs in place. I've also learned somewhere. You can do anything, but you cannot do everything. You're going to get burnt out. Something that I hate about myself is that I take forever to reply. I don't know what to say. I'm trying to do my best and have a good answer when a B+ is good enough. "I'll be there, or thank you so much. I'll get back to you."

I want to be the person that says, "Thank you so much. Here are all of your answers." Sometimes I never get to that, so I never reply. I learned that's my weakness. I found somebody that compliments that and helps me move my career forward. We're aligned in my own capacity. Once you put it into paper and you realize your weaknesses, and you find people that help you with them, it works.

Was mentorship important in what to charge?

I wish we were more structured in the DJ community about how much to charge. We need a union or something like that. It's very spotty. You always have people you can rely on to know how much to charge. You should never work for free.

Were there any limiting beliefs or money that you had to overcome to do that?

Of course. I remember my first private event. I charged $1,600.

How many hours?

Four hours. I thought, "How can I be charging all this money? Did they even know I just started?" It was great. I got great views. I got the money and out perfect. People dance. The limiting belief was, "Am I worth $1,600 for four hours?" Yeah, you are. I remember we were on the phone, and I said, "It's $1,600. The other guy, we did a quote. It was very similar. Send us a contract."

You didn't even know?

What if I said $500? It's not the market rate. You have to know your value. You have to know your worth and not be afraid even you're $6,000.

Very confident. I got it.

It was so exciting that they said, "The other guy is the same. We like you better. Send us the contract."

I'm so happy for you. I'm so happy that we met. We are in the same community of entrepreneurship, purpose and dreams. Let's make it happen at the end of the day.

We have so many opportunities. That's something I love about Houston. Anything you want to be, you can be in the city. You always find your tribe.

I always ask my guests. "What does purpose mean to you?" The show is With Clarity & Purpose. I'm all about purpose-driven. What does that mean to you? How are you living it in your life?

It's being intentional. To me, purpose goes back to what your priorities are. It aligns with something that I truly care about. If it's not, then you're fulfilling somebody else's dream. That's not yours. It can be very easy to fall into that. The purpose is knowing this is how I want things to look in five years. If it's not aligned with that. It's not a priority.

I run every client after the release work through a similar exercise.

Once you do it, it gets very lonely. You look back, and you're like, "I finally did that thing that I've always wanted to do."

Sometimes when you are in it, you don't know that the dots will connect. Whenever you're far away, and you look back, you're like, "I see how I got there." Everything made sense for me to get there. I love this analogy. That makes total sense. You love finances and everything. Whenever you're looking at stock right at the trend one day, and you're like, "It came down."

Sometimes we are like that in life. When you zoom out, you see that the last years it has been going up. Sometimes we are so focused on freaking one thing that longer-term, it will not matter. You are going up. You are progressing. It is so true. You see stocks all the time. You're passionate about it. Every time you see it, you'll think of this conversation. Zoom out. Things are going great.

That's inspiring itself.

We are learning so much here.

I'm generally inspired. I'm like, "It's so true. It's too much. It's been in return average 7% to 10%, even though it dropped 30%."

Life is like that too. Whenever you feel down, you're like, "I have everything I need. I'm in the right place."

You need to believe in yourself, even if you're shaking to do it, because then you're going to take that and be better the next time.

 

If I can like say something to the readers, start doing whatever it is and start small. I cannot say it enough. If you're not embarrassed by your first one, you started too late. It's a minimum viable product, a minimum amount of work. What's the minimum amount of product that's going to get me to say, "I did this?" Figure it out after.

My mom always says, "You're in the right place. You're right where you need to be." That's my one thing. If I can pass something on, it's like, "Don't wait so long to start.” If it's so clear to you, why do you have to wait 8 or 7 years to pick up that controller, start playing for real, and monetize it? Why? There's nothing. It's all in your head.

It is true at the end of the day. It is all in your head and my head.

You're going to get old. That's the thing. You might as well just get it going.

That inside voice never ceases us. The older you get, the louder it gets. You better start listening to it. It took me 8 years to almost 9 years to make this move. I tried it at the two-year mark. It didn't work out. I swear. I quit my job, but I didn't. I failed at quitting my job when I was a Process Engineer, I didn't like it at all.

This journey that I've has had bumps and highlights. It has had a little bit of everything, but I learned so much. The more I worked, the more I aligned. You're right. I always had that value and that purpose in my mind all the time. That's how I knew that the right decisions were the ones I was making, but it wasn't overnight. There is no overnight success, and there is no fearlessness either. Fear is going to be there. You decide if it will stop you or not. It's okay to feel fear. I think it's normal. When you're doing big things, it is like, "People, I'm ready." It's normal.

I cannot tell you how many times I've been shaking.

You did anyway.

Every time, the stages are bigger, and sensations are higher.

You did it, my friend. I'm so excited. What is the last thing you want to tell our audience? Maybe for the person who doesn't have clarity, but they know they're not in the right position. Maybe they're uncomfortable in the comfort zone, or maybe someone is clear about their purpose, and they're just stuck. What would you say to them? The last thing, how do people contact you? Share all your info.

Please start. It doesn't matter what you start. Nobody's going to look at it. It's your journey. Don't waste more time if you have that clarity about what that fire is you have in your heart. We all have it. Stop pushing it down and take action. Find the right people. If that means prioritizing your time with people that don't add to that, make sure you do that. It will happen. Get the right people, start and have fun with it. Everything's going to happen. It just flows after that. That's what happened to me.

This is one of the most meaningful pieces of advice I've received in this show when I'm interviewing people. I appreciate you. I'm so proud of you. You're taking action one year and you are booming. I read two articles in there.

That's what happens when you do what you're meant to do. It's not only me. Anybody that has a dream, once you start and get it going, bigger things are going to come. People are going to notice you. It's going to be effortless. One more thing, stop focusing on your weaknesses and figure out your strengths. Hone into those. Forget about the weaknesses.

You can work on them. I don't know why we're taught to work on our weaknesses when we have strengths. Once you hone into the strengths, you move forward. Do that. Once again, it's your girl, DJ Caribbeats. Thank you so much for joining us. You can find me on Instagram as Caribbeats. You can find me on Facebook as DJ Caribbeats. That's it. I need a website. That's the thing. It's not perfect, and I don't need it right now. It flows without it.

I love it. Funny enough, I handed my business cards with my website, and it was not created. I'm like, "I got to start somewhere."

It's so funny. I've been telling people, "Thank God. I've never been short of work." You don't need a beautiful website, a beautiful Instagram or the perfect Facebook.

That is true, 20,000 followers.

You don't need that.

My friends, I hope you are super inspired and pumped as much as I am right now. I learned so much. More than that, I'm just so grateful that I connected with someone who has a similar mindset, and we're on a similar journey.

I'm so glad about that.

Thank you so much for being here. Your time is gold. I appreciate you sharing your story on this platform. Thank you so much, Carina.

Thank you so much, Yanet.
