I tell myself if I had to do "it" all over again, I'd major in music instead of business. Keep doing it for the love of the music, Jared. It's good for the soul.
One word I can think of is … passion! You have such a passion for DJing. I didn’t realize the process until you explained it here.
My friend in his mid 60’s started writing his own techno music but I don’t see many releases from him any longer.
As a musician myself (acoustic guitar) I would get stale… playing the same songs over and over. I have to do what you do, just listen and say “that would be a good song to learn” as well as look at writing more originals.
If I could recommend one thing is try to semi retire earlier than 65. Reading your work for the past few years, your true passion is music. Time is not guaranteed… work towards that passion. I too should follow my own advice.
Never been a DJ but I remember one time playing music in between breaks at a hockey game (1 time) and even during that brief gig, someone came up and said we needed to play different music to get the crowd going. This was way back and the songs were all the standard hockey related tracks. If that happened to us, I couldn't even imagine how many requests/suggestions a DJ gets.

Love it. I don’t get out much but I do respect the craft. First real electronic show was Orbital with Crystal Method as an opener.
