    The Importance of Mentorship - Radio Ink (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    “The delicate balance of mentoring someone is not creating them in your own image, but allowing them to create themselves.” – Steven Spielberg. The majority of us in this business owe our start to someone, be they a true mentor, a family friend, a relative, or a kind person who saw something in us that led to encouragement and guidance. Mentoring others is paying it forward, but more so, it’s paying back. Committing to mentoring and guiding others is a responsibility that not all have the time,

    Radio's Longest Day - Radio Ink (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    When the terrorist attacks of 9/11 happened, life as we knew it changed. In the USA, and even in Canada, the innocence that we took for granted was gone. Our children would never experience the freedoms we experienced. This Friday we’ll acknowledge the more than 3,000 people who died on that Tuesday 25 years ago. There will be tributes in New York, Washington, DC, Shanksville, PA, and across the nation. Stories will be told. Sadness revisited. History will be passed on to those who were too youn

    The Passing of Dolly Parton: The Lesson to Learn - Radio Ink (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The conversation and debate started by my column last Thursday created a greater stir than I expected. The positive side of the article was that it prompted some (including Connoisseur CEO Jeff Warshaw, Bud Walters from Cromwell Media, and several Corporate PDs) to text or write me notes, messaging how their group or stations responded.

    Dolly's Passing Exposed a Weakness of Today's Radio - Radio Ink (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    August 25 will long be remembered as the day that Dolly Parton died. Parton was not only an iconic artist, but also an actress, business leader, media mogul, and philanthropist. She created a major amusement park. You would be hard-pressed to find someone with a bad word about Miss Parton, or someone who met her and wasn’t impressed. Dolly Parton was very special. She not only attracted an audience to the Country music format, but she also introduced it well beyond radio with her many skills as

    For The Love of Radio - Radio Ink (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    National Radio Day was last Thursday, August 20, and Radio Ink, social media posts, and on-air mentions all added up to plenty of salutes for radio. It’s clear to me that many of us who are in or around radio… love radio! You can also see it in comments on social media when jobs are eliminated. People who’ve spent decades in a business they’ve been fully committed to are being forced to leave what they love for what enables them to provide for their families. That should sadden all of us.
