Show Notes:Rich Spotlight: Jason Barrett

Making people Laugh, allowing listeners to Learn, and being Likable are the 3 qualities of successful sports talk radio hostsNever felt that he a great host but was a good producer

Always loved sports and reading about NY sports and WFAN was his first experience to sports talk radio (Mike and the Mad Dog)Was a musician (drummer) before moving into a sports talk radio career

Found a small station in upstate NY  and did everything… writing, clips, producing, selling and learned the business from the insideDid a wrestling show once a week (Sunday night 9-11 PM)

Worked at ESPN for 2 years with hosts like Doug Gottlieb, Dan Patrick, John Seibel, Freddie ColemanEventually started building stations and 101 ESPN in St. Louis is one of the stations he built and now celebrates 10-years

Didn’t want to be in a situation where he missed his son’s high school career because he was chasing ratings so he moved back to NY from San FranciscoTurned down opportunities to be a producer again in order to found Barrett Sports Media (BSM) and create sportsradiopd.com

Words of Wisdom from Jason Barrett:“Adversity causes some to break and others to break records.”
