When I coach someone or teach a coaching class, I often say, “ when you are
ready to learn, a teacher will appear.” Or sometimes I like to say, “ you meet
people in your life who make an impact, almost as if your path crossed for a
reason.”
In my life, that person is Michael Harrison, founder of Talkers and Talkers
Magazine. When I first met Michael in Austin Texas many years ago at a NAB
Radio show, his words resonated with me, his mannerisms touched me in a special
way. Michael was an early pioneer of the concept or idea of the Media Station.
While that idea seemed far off at that first introduction, today we are seeing
the “media station” used in almost every market, large and small.
I owe a great deal to Michael. He has been my mentor, my inspiration and
my motivation. I am looking forward to many more years of Talkers conventions
with Michael.
