My blog featuring radio stories and other “Ideas Worth Listening To.” My goal is to motivate, inspire and help with your own personal success. Using radio as a tool for self-examination may seem bizarre at first, but I feel it’s an elegantly simple way to help explain things. When done right, radio has the power to evoke emotions; and, this blog will attempt to stir your emotional core, through a connection you already know. The daily “Ear Openers” will help you cut through the clutter of your work, your money and your routine, and turn the focus on what you want your life to be. So, Tune In. Use the Free Air. And achieve your unlimited potential.
