Welcome to the Hurricane Dave Podcast where we teach, educate and inform you on how to win in the entertainment game. Your host is the former VP of Programming and Operations for a major Radio broadcasting company and radio Icon Hurricane Dave Smith.
Let's talk about life. There will be times in your life where you need to pivot from one job field to another. I'm surprised how many people I know who have read the book "Who moved my cheese" but still go down the same old road. I will always love the radio GAME, but I'm not waiting to be saved. I am trying new way's to make money! I was on the "You can't RUSH success" podcast hosted by my good friend and prominent comedy man Rudy Rush. His podcast is all about success. As always, when I'm a guest on someone's podcast, I like to cross-promote it on my podcast AFTER it airs on the original podcast. Thank You for being a part of my podcast family. Dave
It's us against the algorithm, us against the machine. The social media platforms are not exposing your content to 100% of your fanbase. Most of the time, you're only reaching about 18% on a good day. We think it's time you harvest your followers onto a list that you control. That way, you can market to your Fanbase anytime you like. We're going to talk about how you can do that on this podcast.
I had the pleasure to get an invite from Reec Radio. We talked about the radio business, podcasting, and, what's most important, family life. There's something extraordinary that came out of being out of work during a pandemic. Life has never been better and more meaningful to me than it is right now.
A couple of young black record company executives decided to take a stance. They no longer want the barricades of being placed in the "Urban Music Department." I completely understand with the systematic racism in the world being exposed due to the murder of George Floyd I think these young executives are going to end up on the wrong side of history.
A lot of people are finding themselves out of work. This episode is dedicated to my radio family that has been downsized due to COVID-19. I've had the experience of being in and out of work. So I'm somewhat of an expert on at least five different phases that you're going to go through. From being a celebrity to being out of work can be challenging to deal with. I hope some of my life's lessons can help you during this time as you prepare for your come back. Never fold on faith
A lot of people are afraid right now because of coronavirus. Rightfully so, but now is the best time ever to create a home based business. This first podcast is really targeted toward the radio broadcasting industry. This is a quick podcast to get you started about thinking about a home based business. Best of luck and stay safe out there.
