I've spent 30 years learning how to make people feel like the only person in the room. That skill built an audience. It drove a radiothon that became the largest of its kind in the country. It's behind every one of 900+ conversations I've produced and hosted on Beyond the Mic. I didn't do it with a big market budget or a corporate safety net. I did it by understanding what people actually respond to — and building something around that. I'm ready to do it at a different scale, in a different room.
