00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,439
Speaker 1: Stream thinking. It's learning how to trust what is in

2
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:06,240
your present place of right now. To get there requires practice.

3
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:08,800
Here's what I do each day one sheet of paper,

4
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:12,160
just ten minutes write about whatever is moving through your

5
00:00:12,199 --> 00:00:15,800
presence of right now without any type of judgment. Stream

6
00:00:15,839 --> 00:00:19,160
thinking will sharpen your skills as a listener, a communicator,

7
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:22,800
and an activator. It's learning how to trust what is

8
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:27,640
right now. This is stream thinking. September twenty first, twenty

9
00:00:27,719 --> 00:00:31,160
twenty four. The trend isn't coming to an end. The

10
00:00:31,239 --> 00:00:34,920
list of radio warriors hanging up their earphones it continues

11
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:38,079
to grow. There are so many stories about corporate companies

12
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:41,920
cutting back, but even that story gets really old, especially

13
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:43,799
when you hear of the mom and pop operations with

14
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,840
those towers wanting to stay local but find themselves working

15
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:50,840
with syndication. All people in radio face their final on

16
00:00:51,039 --> 00:00:54,960
air moment every single day. There comes a time when

17
00:00:55,079 --> 00:00:58,399
chasing the next stage evolves into a crawl and then

18
00:00:58,439 --> 00:01:02,799
a complete sit down finished, Thanks for the day of play,

19
00:01:03,159 --> 00:01:07,159
and then what the burning inside your soul to be creative?

20
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,239
It never fades, nor does the need to be with

21
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:15,359
people answering the question, then, what all of a sudden

22
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,920
you become Well, you used to be, didn't you used

23
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:22,079
to be? Yes, you used to be. Facing that mirror

24
00:01:22,519 --> 00:01:26,840
is a very uncomfortable position. But what radio people do

25
00:01:27,159 --> 00:01:29,840
once the door has closed or they've closed the door.

26
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:34,079
I went to a grocery store because it's a live performance.

27
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:38,200
I get to see the community, communicate with people. There

28
00:01:38,239 --> 00:01:40,560
are no program directors telling me what I can and

29
00:01:40,599 --> 00:01:44,560
can't say. All it is is about a connection. That's

30
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:48,000
what radio is. We try to make a connection. But

31
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,040
so many times you got to get through the call

32
00:01:50,079 --> 00:01:52,239
screener in order to get somebody who's going to keep

33
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,879
your ratings. Going away from radio, it's not so much

34
00:01:55,959 --> 00:01:59,120
about ratings. I know people who went into the insurance

35
00:01:59,159 --> 00:02:03,200
business once again, and it's still a performance selling insurance. Yeah,

36
00:02:03,319 --> 00:02:06,280
you're going to put on those creative shoes in order

37
00:02:06,319 --> 00:02:10,120
to get someone to trust in you. The next level

38
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,560
of radio is it podcasting. I've been doing it since

39
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,639
twenty twelve and I show up in my studio every

40
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:18,840
single day and people go, why do you do that?

41
00:02:19,159 --> 00:02:21,879
Because that's how I was trained in radio. We did

42
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,919
six and seven days a week. That's what you do.

43
00:02:25,759 --> 00:02:30,319
It's a lifestyle that doesn't change, and it's something that

44
00:02:30,439 --> 00:02:32,800
you know, we kind of tuck to the side, but

45
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,520
then we'll come back and say, you know what I

46
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:39,680
used to be. Whoa wait a second. In the beginning,

47
00:02:39,719 --> 00:02:42,439
we didn't want to hear that, but later on on

48
00:02:42,439 --> 00:02:46,120
the path we go I used to be I'm Aerrow

49
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:47,680
And that's stream thinking.
