Pride (In The Name Of Radio)
• It’s always invigorating to catch up on the phone with noted talent coach Steve Reynolds of The Reynolds Group to compare notes on an industry we love so much. While Steve is fortunate enough to work with many talented radio pros, he candidly admits he doesn’t know everyone — yet. And he’s anxious to connect with [your name here].
During the course of our conversation, Reynolds related, “The No. 1 question I’m asked by companies is, ‘Where are all the talented people? (because we need them for the future of our radio stations). I’m also asked, ‘Where are the talented people who are proudto be in radio and who still believe in it?’ I’ve been around for a minute, but I have yet to meet everyone,” he said. “As a coach who believes in radio and the power of talent, I’m out to meet those who have great pride for what we get to do every day in this industry.”
Steve says it doesn’t matter if you’ve been in the business 30 years or three months. He isn’t concerned that you want to stay in your current market forever, or if you are looking to move up to a new city. It also doesn’t matter if you are currently employed — or looking to get back in — or if you are the host of a personality-driven morning or afternoon show or are entertaining in a music-intensive daypart. If you consider yourself to be a good person and are proudof what you do every day when you crack that mic to entertain and create a sense of companionship with your listeners, Steve would like to make your acquaintance. No strings attached, and no salesman will call. Take a moment and send a “Hi, how are ya?” email to steve@reynoldsgroupradio.com and use the word “PROUD” in the subject line.
