Jer 🚵🏼<p>I drove back east at least once and my wife came out to visit the little farm worker’s quarters I was renting. As we headed into Fall it was seeming like this would go on forever. What do you do for a plan B? Walk away? Then we got a bite from a company that owned a string of christian stations. Way too much back and forth and negotiating for what it was, but they ended up buying it. Not what I considered the best outcome for the community, but all we had.<br>And with that we were free! <br><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/midwest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>midwest</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/radio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>radio</span></a></p>
Jer 🚵🏼<p>My brother, more of a sales guy like dad, took on the task of finding a buyer. Sis and I cleaned out and sold the old trailer house, tried to get the station and transmitter sites in order, while I kept the place on the air and the few employees paid. My real job was halfway across the country and I'd work part of the day programming for them or taking product photos of the new hardware we were making. <br> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/midwest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>midwest</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/radio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>radio</span></a></p>
Jer 🚵🏼<p>I like fixing things and the radio station was really broken. So it didn't come as a surprise when I got the idea of staying there, buying station from sibs, and essentially becoming dad. But he was always a smooth talking sales guy while I abhorred the prospect of selling, much less talking to people. Realize who you are and what you enjoy. That was a couple decades ago and I've never regretted walking away.<br><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/midwest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>midwest</span></a></p>
