We’ve put many radio stations on the air, always with money and people, but in this case, no money no people! Just me in the beginning in a small space with headphones, a cell phone and a writing pad on a card table. It was pretty interesting getting back down on the ground.

I went alone because I always wanted to run a business, I wanted to be close to my ailing mom in the County, and I knew that I had to leave Corus before they left me. They were supportive and became my first customer. Ten years ago I informed Corus that I was going out alone. This includes talent coaching in the media and non-media.
