Less is more.

From media coach Darren Robson. "The age old question. Quantity vs. quality. In Social Media, it's all about quality". Post less but make it count.

What????

This has got to qualify as a serious personal grooming mistake. What is with the stash?

Credibility

With little argument against the obvious fact, this guy was the most dominant pitcher of all time in MLB. He likely won't be remembered for that.

The importance of protecting credibility and reputation can't be overstated. Once lost, they are often surrendered forever. It's a shame.

When Record Jackets were Art!!

There was a time when a cool jacket for the latest LP was all the rage. Some designers missed the "cool" part. Click WHEN RECORD JACKETS WERE ART and you'll know what I mean.

When something bad happens....

In all our communities, from time to time, something sad happens that we need to talk about on the radio. How do you do it?

The issue came up today in High River. Here is a great piece of conversation between a morning host and his mentor (Ryan Switzer in Swift) that gives good advice on how to handle the issue. The be real part resonates very strong with me.

Hi Ryan,

I'm having a little issue today. Usually the morning show is happy, lighthearted, etc. However, the big news story today is a massive fire at the Museum of the Highwood in High River. It's currently burning and fire crews have been trying to put it out all morning. How do I balance the lightheartedness of the morning show and the seriousness of the fire?

It's important to maintain a consistent character on the radio, but at times like this, breaking character is OK.

Not what one would expect from Letterman. Totally humbled...even said he isn't the best person to talk about the issue. Be real. Give props to the firemen and everyone who has helped out. Find some people with ties to the museum and see if they want to talk.

Call me if you want to discuss...
