    We break format today...bringing in our Auto Insultant, Mr. Ed Steenman. Ed owns an ad agency, Steenman & Associates, in Seattle handling Tier 2 and Tier 3 auto clients. With the chaos around tariffs impacting the automobile business, we asked Ed how to navigate the current market as a sales rep.

    And...to our surprise, a big endorsement for radio.
