    What Is Your Definition Of Success? - Radio Ink (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    What makes you happy and the world a better place? Rather than go through my thoughts on it, I went to you and received lots of interesting, genuine, and heartfelt answers. Happy, healthy, older, above ground and not below it! Everything else is immaterial. When a listener tells me something I said on the radio made a difference in their day/life. Let’s play this out in baseball parlance. If I’m a professional hitter, I know at some point, I might run into failure. I never allow that notion to s

    Excerpt · English

    A close friend recently told me I had to watch the Netflix documentary Unreal, which follows the inner workings of the WWE. I laughed. I hadn’t been a wrestling fan since I was about twelve, and I couldn’t imagine what professional wrestling could teach me about radio. Two episodes later, I realized I was completely wrong. What fascinated me wasn’t the wrestling itself. It was getting a behind-the-scenes look at how every storyline, every character, every match, and every moment is carefully pla

    Dolly's Gift of Connection - Radio Ink (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Much has been said about Dolly Parton this past week.

Dolly Parton was one of the world’s most recognizable entertainers: a singer, songwriter, actress, entrepreneur, philanthropist, and cultural icon.

    On August 2, Zac Brown Band had the Country staple’s 15th consecutive sold-out show at Fenway Park. That night, Zac announced everyone in the building was getting a cruise for two aboard the Margaritaville at Sea. The giveaway’s estimated value surpassed $40 million. No question, there is a lesson for radio. Prioritize “Memorability” over “promotion.” We have spent decades giving things away, whether it’s concert tickets, trips, cash, meet-and-greets, or family 4-packs to wherever! There’s nothi

    Are You Prepared For The Day After 9/7? - Radio Ink (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    For most, Labor Day weekend is officially the last summer weekend. School is getting back in session. Vacations end and days get shorter. Attitudes change after Labor Day. Everyone’s back to work, and the next lengthy “holiday” is two months away. There’s lots of football. The pace of everyday life picks up following a summer slowdown. This fall, things will again be more expensive than they were last year. As a PD, I always treated the first day back after Labor Day as the beginning of a new “s
