A Respected Reputation
There was a time when I was a very mean and negative person. I didn’t trust anyone in the industry after a few bad experiences with people who were not my friends and I made the mistake of relegating ALL industry people to those who could not be trusted and who were full of shit. I was able to overcome that by being a spokesperson for radio people and speaking up for them when they could not speak for themselves. I have been on the same roads as they have and I have struggled financially like that have and I have played the mean politics at many radio stations as they have. I am an expert on radio. I risked my radio career for my audience but truth be told, I never liked working on the air anyway. It was boring and I could not be myself and there were too many politics. So it was a natural progression that I was able to move in a direction to be a national figure for radio instead of a miserable DJ moving from market to market. There may still be a few people in the industry that dont’ like me, but I could care less because I have no doubt that I am respected and in the end that’s really all that matters. You don’t have to be loved but make sure you earn respect.
