This September, Up In Your Business with Kerry McCoy (UIYB) podcast/radio show will be seven years old. Looking back to the beginning, it’s hard to believe for the first two years we did a live, hour-long broadcast every Friday.
Recently, I was talking to my friend and op-ed writer for the Arkansas Democrat Gazette, Tommy Foltz. Tommy is a deep thinker and even if you don’t agree with his opinions, speaking with him is always thought provoking.
Why, why, why, after six years and over 300 interviews, do I continue to mess with Up in Your Business? Every time I think, “okay, it may be time for me to stop interviewing successful people” I have another interesting guest and learn something new.
In preparation for my Up in Your Business interview with local celeb Lisa Fischer, I listened to several of her Lisa Fischer Said podcast episodes and learned that Lisa is a sufferer.
In high school, Pat Matthews had a compulsion to create and his talent was evident by the art competitions he entered and won. But, alas, he knew the career of a young artist was uncertain. This rational thinking led him to a degree in architecture.
It is hard to believe Up In Your Business with Kerry McCoy (UIYB) has been on the air for 5 years. What started as a mentoring program aimed at helping entrepreneurs and would-be entrepreneurs has morphed into more.
Just when you think it is all over, you get a little sign from the universe telling you, “What you do matters.” That is what happened to me last week.
One thing I didn’t expect, but have come to love, is the research I must do for my radio show. Each week, under pressure of a deadline, I read about my guest. As a result, I’ve learned so much!
My interview with Mr. Lay, founder of GWL Advertising, was fast approaching. My first thought was to research his business, GWL Advertising, and speak to the changes that have occurred in his industry over the past 40 years. But, when he sent me his bio, I quickly changed course. Gary Wayne Lay, from Clinton, Arkansas, has a story that really caught me by surprise and opened my eyes, once again, to the fragility of life.
This September will mark my third year as host of Up In Your Business on KABF radio. Though the show began as a mentoring program for entrepreneurs, it has become much more than that. It is the human-interest stories of my guests that listeners have found interesting and inspiring.
