Journey Notes:
This marks the first time that written about my journey in some time. I have some cool news. Just yesterday, I was browsing various search engines. I wanted to view what the results were when I searched for my show. I stumbled across a piece titled, "Black Radio Stations Matter" written by Darryl Parks. Darryl Parks was a long time program director and talk radio personality in Cincinnati. His piece was very flattering. What's interesting is that while originally posted in February, I just came across it. Is this serendipity? ( I have always wanted to use that word in a sentence, hooray for me!) Sometimes you need to be reminded of your talents. Shout out to Darryl for the love. If you read the piece you will see that the man is absolutely correct. I cannot afford to be humble right now. I am going to take my show to the next level. The next step for me is to actively court sponsorship's and advertisers.
I started my own company Superlative Flows Media LLC so that I can legally do business. I have taken the steps to put my self in a position to capitalize on my own talents. The way I see it, the talk radio game is similar to the rap game, content is king. If this is true, then a talent such as myself does not need to be with a "major".
Corporate radio cannot prosper without talent. If you listen to the current state of corporate talk radio, its old, stale, predictable, uninspired and tired.
My vision for my company is to create a new voice with roots in the city of my birth.
I have the drive. I have the talent. I have the audience. Now I need to pull it all together.
This is a journey. One man, one microphone, one path, my only option is success.
