As a small business owner, I love the fact that there are actually radio programs that discuss one of my favorite topics..small business.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Not only is Jim Blasingame<\/strong> celebrating his 12th year<\/strong> of broadcasting, but his producers reached out to me a few years ago, and asked me to be a guest on Jim's show. Jim even liked me enough to invite me to be a member of his "Brain Trust<\/a>." (That's<\/em> a little scary)<\/p>\n

From Jim;<\/p>\n

\n<\/m:wrapindent>"This Monday will be my 3,121stlive broadcast since we began —
\nincluding all the holidays — even when I was on the road. I've conducted
\nalmost 12,000 live interviews with small business experts and entrepreneurs,
\nand next week I'll broadcast my 13th consecutive live Thanksgiving Day show.
\nWhen you hear me talking about making sure that you're passionate about the
\nbusiness you start, now you know that I practice what I preach.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n


\nFrom the beginning, my primary programming goal was to focus on the
\nfundamentals that are important to successfully starting, operating and growing
\na small business, and to make all of the things we do available to you for
\nfree. On that last note — the free one — I must say thanks to our
\noutstanding corporate partners, without whom the free part would not be
\npossible. <\/span>
<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Along the way, we've received a number of awards and recognition for our work
\non behalf of small business. All were accepted in honor of our heroes, small
\nbusiness owners."<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Way to go, Jim. 12 more please.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Here's an archive of radio interviews<\/a> Jim and I have done together, on the topic of franchising.<\/p>\n

They're suitable for weekend listening. (At least)<\/em>
