Speaker 1: Stream thinking. It's learning how to trust what is in
your present place of right now. To get there requires practice.
Here's what I do each day one sheet of paper,
just ten minutes write about whatever is moving through your
presence of right now without any type of judgment. Stream
thinking will sharpen your skills as a listener, a communicator,
and an activator. It's learning how to trust what is
right now. This is stream thinking. September twenty first, twenty
twenty four. The trend isn't coming to an end. The
list of radio warriors hanging up their earphones it continues
to grow. There are so many stories about corporate companies
cutting back, but even that story gets really old, especially
when you hear of the mom and pop operations with
those towers wanting to stay local but find themselves working
with syndication. All people in radio face their final on
air moment every single day. There comes a time when
chasing the next stage evolves into a crawl and then
a complete sit down finished, Thanks for the day of play,
and then what the burning inside your soul to be creative?
It never fades, nor does the need to be with
people answering the question, then, what all of a sudden
you become Well, you used to be, didn't you used
to be? Yes, you used to be. Facing that mirror
is a very uncomfortable position. But what radio people do
once the door has closed or they've closed the door.
I went to a grocery store because it's a live performance.
I get to see the community, communicate with people. There
are no program directors telling me what I can and
can't say. All it is is about a connection. That's
what radio is. We try to make a connection. But
so many times you got to get through the call
screener in order to get somebody who's going to keep
your ratings. Going away from radio, it's not so much
about ratings. I know people who went into the insurance
business once again, and it's still a performance selling insurance. Yeah,
you're going to put on those creative shoes in order
to get someone to trust in you. The next level
of radio is it podcasting. I've been doing it since
twenty twelve and I show up in my studio every
single day and people go, why do you do that?
Because that's how I was trained in radio. We did
six and seven days a week. That's what you do.
It's a lifestyle that doesn't change, and it's something that
you know, we kind of tuck to the side, but
then we'll come back and say, you know what I
used to be. Whoa wait a second. In the beginning,
we didn't want to hear that, but later on on
the path we go I used to be I'm Aerrow
And that's stream thinking.
