Hello Radio, It’s concept first and details later

If you talk about what Rush, Hannity, Beck, or Savage talk about on their shows, they then become unbeatable.
Negativity is the killer of Creativity.
If we all evolved from Monkeys how come they still exist, or were they just the smart ones that decided not to come along.

Radio Can be a Local Media Thought Leader

By Eric Corwin

Radio should become a local marketing thought leader for business. What is a thought leader? Wikipedia’s description is as follows, a thought leader is a futurist or person who is recognized for innovative ideas and demonstrates the confidence to promote or share those ideas as actionable distilled insights.
