Brad has worked in film as a director and producer, he's been a journalist, broadcaster, and businessman. His passion for radio wasn't simply a desire to work for a radio station, Brad wanted to own the station. This podcast offers an interesting insight into what it was like for Brad to raise the capital to purchase his own radio stations and to streamline those operations so that they became profitable businesses. We also talk about how the global financial crisis, two major floods and a cyclone impacted on Brad Smart's regional radio network. Whether you're someone who has worked in the radio industry or simply an entrepreneur or businessperson interested in strategy, risk mitigation, planning and business models, I hope you enjoy this podcast.
