Goin’ In!

By admin

 

It’s been a hot minute since I decided to get on the blog scheme and do it to it…actually it was at the tail end of my night show on KMCK. Since then, there’s been a general malaise to write anything since there wasn’t a whole hell of a lot to say that was positive…Not because I kicked ass in ratings and my show got pulled; not because the person I was answering to at the time had the education and social skills less than or equal to a gnat; not because there wasn’t anything to write about; it was all mainly because I was confused as to what my purpose and function was in relationship to where I was on my path.  

So for the kids that I don’t talk to on the regular…I was laid off from Cumulus a little over a couple weeks ago due to corporate cost cuts. It was kind of a surreal situation where my GM came into the studio I was working in as I was finishing producing and inserting the show that replaced me. 

After about jumping out of my skin when he crept in, the duke had a crazy somber look on his face and informed me of my demise. Come to find out later that my boss had been let go to….a 30 year radio veteran who had way more talent than he was able to bring to the table under the conditions that we had to endure.  All things considered, after listening to the “corporate axe has swung again” speech, I actually felt relieved. I knew that even though the 60+ hours a week I spent working for Cumulus weren’t taken into account there,  I know that I’m poised to take all the milestones, creative discoveries, and work ethic to a spot where it’s be nourished so I can flourish! 

The next several days, weeks, months, what3v3r, is going to chronicle the journey to the next opportunity…

 

On a kick ass positive note… the kid 50 has found his next hit….enjoy
