I’ve been going to ball parks since I was a baby and I don’t think I’ve every successfully won the hat trick game on the jumbo-tron. Once it goes into hyper mode I’m lost! I ended up cheating off an 8 year old stranger a few rows down and I throw up  1, 2, or 3 fingers.

Radio’s become the hat trick!

Anyone remember getting hired to do an air shift and the hours of your air shift was all that was listed as your responsibilities  for the compensation.  

That was me working in a sky tickler in downtown Seattle. You pay me this $ for these hours on air. Done deal. Sign it. Do the work.

Radio has changed… it’s now become the hat trick.

Between my phone calls with my Creative Cardio partner Scott Herrold, my boss Carmen Brown, and loads of other jock/pd/prod guys around the country… we got more hats than Toby Mac’s walk in closet!

So… what now?

 

The past years I found myself consumed by the hat trick.

This winter I’ve slowly gotten myself to the place where I have created a stone tablet Moses type memo to myself.

Here’s the structure of this laminated document I made for myself.

DAILY

GOD, Wife, Kids, JOYFM Tampa, JOYFM Atlanta, Creative Cardio.com, Health/Running

 

The above has got to become part of the daily life… no arguments allowed in the head.

Unfortunately there’s more hats to be squared with… here comes the trick!

Its finding places in the week for the other hats

Somehow my work with a film company, small record label, and 2 other radio stations must find homes.

I’ve had to get creative and space them out.

Its my goal for the spring to stick to this regiment.

If I can do it… Saturday and Sunday belong to my family, yard work, church, and REST

 

I am convinced that mastering the hat trick involves prayer, an organized day planner, discipline, and REST!!!
