94. Podcasting a Natural Fit for Lifelong Radio Broadcaster​

A friend’s father owned a radio station in a town of 7,000 in southern Illinois. At 16, Jason’s friend asked if he would like to work at the station. He did well enough to land a radio job on his own in Arizona at 17 and has been in radio ever since.

Becoming an on-air reporter and the announcer for his high school basketball team—in a town where basketball was king—was crucial in confirming Jason’s love of broadcasting and public speaking. When his family moved to Arizona, he was confident enough to find radio work and basketball announcing again.

In radio, developing a podcast, blogging and life in general, Jason has been guided by “three simple words: Be not afraid. When we take chances, even if we fail, it does not necessarily mean our complete downfall. Most people don’t understand the talents they do have, and they DO have a lot.”
