Tuning in?

You'll be a guest at some point when you're ready and when your brand can use the publicity.

I mean, I wasn’t going to ask...

But if you’ve got a slow week and need a local entrepreneur...

I also do NOT have a radio voice. So be warned if your ratings plummet.

I do not have a good radio voice either, but people care about content. I do have a face for radio though.

@Vigilante, I hope you're well. Any updates/progress on your plans to bring back the show? I came across what appears to be a lost podcast recording in which you did a segment on overcoming adversity, and I couldn't help but be jealous that I never got to hear any of your earlier stuff.

And thank you for the statement: "Scarred skin is stronger than regular skin."

I ended up in a long-term engagement. We will definitely bring the show back but not before the end of the year. It's on my short-term list of objectives though. Glad you like that show. When we bring it back, it will be live across the country on Saturday mornings.

Awesome! I was sure that you were busy with other stuff, but this is just what I was hoping to hear. I'll keep an eye out for anything further. Have a great weekend.

We're getting ready to lay down the audio for Saturday's podcast. I am organizing my thoughts onto paper. The only reason I am doing this is for someone else who is broken and needs hope. I am going to read a fair amount of it so I don't get lost in the emotion.

It's very personal. It takes me back into a very dark window of time. I am not sure I want to go there again, but I am also thinking after all these years it might be therapeutic. So, we'll do it.

If you want a polished, professional entertainer, don't listen on Saturday. That ain't me. If you want a glimpse into the catalyst for my current success, then you have to peer into the dark hole that I started from in order to understand it.

You can hear it Saturday. Bits and pieces of it have been shared on the forum, but I have never talked about this publicly before.

So... here we go. If one single person out there can be lifted up by realizing you can crash and burn and survive... it will have been worth it. I will talk with you all on Saturday.



Hello @Vigilante,

I would love to hear this episode, a lot.

I know the links say 'page not found' but I have a great hope that you may have it somewhere in your PC/Mac.


This is the most REAL piece of my story I have ever released.

http://www.twincitiesnewstalk.com/o...4/mind-your-business-is-college-the-13032812/

Skip up and start listening from 25:20 to the end.

If you want to hear my story. If you think you're done. If you don't know where to start.

I will get this podcast going again at some point, but if I never do another show again, my legacy is recorded for you in this link starting at minute 25.

When I hear it, it takes me directly into looking into a dark abyss that many of you are looking at today.

I hope this podcast gives you encouragement to press through.


Is this the same episode as above?

Grant my wish, Vig.

I plan to ease back into this.

With the first broadcast (which will actually be a podcast), to get the cobwebs out, for Saturday May 6th I will do an abbreviated version of a talk I gave a few years back at the Fastlane Forum called : In the Belly of the Beast --- what I learned while working at Walmart Corporate.

The only time I have ever talked about this content before was at the meet-up. What people remember the most from it was the short discussion on RUTHLESS EXPENSE REDUCTION.

I hope you have fun with this and I am looking forward to a somewhat interactive medium once we alternate over to live streaming down the road a bit. - Dave

You know (because I think you used to listen to the show?) that I am a relatively stammering speaker. Oh well. F*ck 'em if they don't like it.

I have a face for radio, and a voice not for radio. Usually when I call a business on the phone and they need to put me on hold, they say "hold on a minute ma'am" and when they come back on the phone I try and drop my voice a few octaves.

At some point, I will try and re-do the show where I talked about my darkest day. If possible, I will try and recover the original audio from my friends at iHeartMedia because I am not sure if I can do it as well, and I am not sure I want the journey into that dark hole again but if I can't get the original audio for rebroadcast @Roz a few weeks into the show I will talk through it again.

If you need help with figuring out the world of talk radio syndication and radio stuff, let me know. I am a co-owner at a radio station and have a syndicated radio show. It's a slow industry, very entrenched, but there's nothing like it.

Ironically, I got into it partially because I have had a very deep voice, even as tiny child, and everyone told me I had a voice for radio. But I always tell guests that they *think* they their voice doesn't work for radio, but only in extremely rare cases is that actually true. Everyone hates the sound of their own voice (at first, you eventually grow used to it if you work in the field).

I did not hear you stammer.

Will you have your daughter & son on again?

Update : We are working on the technology side of the Spreaker platform for the re-launch of Mind Your Business. We're targeting next Saturday for the first pre-recorded show, but I will update you here when everything is set. This may drift by a week, but I will let you know for sure later this week. And, since it's going to be media on demand, you'll be able to catch it when ever.

What I CAN tell you is that we've lined up the first guest for the first new show.

Stephen Hilgart (@Kung Fu Steve) advises and consults with Fortune 500 companies, executives, managers and sales professionals in the areas of Peak Performance, leadership, organizational behavior, psychology of achievement, and sales. Steve has started, build, and sold 3 successful businesses and created a unique “rags to riches” story that has inspired thousands. He now tours nationally and speaks to corporations about strategy, motivation, organizational and individual change.

I asked Steve to speak with us about "how to survive and thrive through times of adversity." We'll talk through some practical tools to overcoming fear and maintaining mental strength during hard times. Expect to gain some refreshment through Steve's unique and positive coaching strategies and positive energy. This just might be the 30 minutes you need(ed) to overcome challenges, both real and psychological, to get you heading towards your next mountaintop.

Also, I expect to be able to make a special announcement at the end of the first show about a collaboration between Mind Your Business, @MJ DeMarco and the Fa$tlane Forum.

Stay tuned for the actual show release announcement later this week, and make sure to Mind Your Business - Dave

I can't wait to get your off the record critique after I get a few shows under my belt again. We were killing it in the Twin Cities with iHeartMedia (just when Clear Channel became iHeart) and I can't wait to get back in the saddle. I already know who our national sponsors will be... they just don't know it yet. Eventually I want to take Saturday morning garbage time and bring real value content to people that are sick of their 9-5.

The "prequel" edition of the Mind Your Business radio show will release tomorrow morning, Saturday at 11AM Eastern time here in the United States. I didn't get organized quickly enough to include @Kung Fu Steve so we'll see if we can get together before next Saturday's show.

The podcast tomorrow has me shaking the cobwebs out of my head and getting back in the groove. The main topic was sparked by an article in Entrepreneur Magazine called "C0VlD-19 Will Fuel the Next Wave of Innovation." You can read that article now at Facebook.com/mybradio.

Stay tuned at the end of the podcast for a little teaser about something MJ and I are working out for INSIDERS here at the FastLane Forum.

Thanks... hope you enjoy it as I get back in the saddle. For now, I know you will be able to listen on the Spreaker App or directly on the web at Mind Your Business Radio

We'll be podcasting and occasionally live broadcasting on the Spreaker app on iOS and Android, and you will be able to listen on Spotify, TuneIN, Stitcher, iHeartRadio, or directly from the Spreaker App on your phone every Saturday. Not sure yet how to feed the platforms outside of Spreaker, but I'll post updates when the show is available on these other platforms as well.

Thanks! Love to hear your comments, criticism and topic suggestions as we get rolling again. - Dave
