On today’s podcast we talk to a Mississippi radio veteran whose journey began on the overnight shift in 1982 and grew into ownership—and a lifetime of lessons about people, community and finding opportunity.

What does radio teach you that a classroom cannot? How do you keep adapting without losing the local relationships that make your business valuable? And what changes when you become the person responsible for helping everyone else succeed?

Join Loyd Ford for a conversation about growing through change, investing in people and finding reasons to stay encouraged about radio’s future.
