Out to Lunch with Maxwell Schaeffer Part Two

In Part Two of our conversation with former KIOA morning personality Maxwell Schaeffer we talk about how radio and the radio business has changed. How local programming is now almost gone, about decisions made in a far off corporate headquarters and how shareholders, rather than listeners and local management, now dictate direction. We'll also talk about future plans, his playwright wife Karen Schaeffer his Sports Director son Jon Schaeffer at We Are Iowa TV 5 and more. For those of you who wondered what it's like have a listen. And thank you Jesses Embers for a great lunch.

Only The Best Make It - The Trainer Certification Program from Tero International

I sat down with Deborah Rinner the Vice President and Chief Learning Officer of Tero International to talk about the certification program that is unique to Tero. What they do to find top quality talent and then train them to consistantly go out and train their clients seems exhausting. But, in the end, the company develops people like Candice Johnson whom you will also meet here. Of Candice, Deb said, "Who she is as a person is what we look for as we develop the talent to go out and represent our brand among our clients." Clearly this is a team that understands it's more than simply learning...it's also in the DNA of the perspective trainer.
