\\u201cFor me it was about the entertainment value; but with that comes the responsibility to tell it honestly, truthfully, and with energy. And when you can do all of those things, it\\u2019s something that people want to listen to.\\u201d

Having the guts to make a complete transition isn\\u2019t easy, and Rudy Reyes, host of The Rudedog Show radio show, can tell you all about it, and much more. And I really mean much more, as Rudy has recorded several hundred episodes, interviewing a wide array of sports and entertainment celebrities, including Jerome Bettis, Nadia Comaneci, Michael Phelps and Sinbad too!

\\u201cThis is not something that I learned overnight. It\\u2019s taken me a long time, and many free hours and free time to really put the hammer to the nail in order to get me to where I am right now. It\\u2019s not easy, it\\u2019s time consuming, but it\\u2019s very rewarding.\\u201d

Most of us do not realize the amount of time, energy, effort and real world education it takes to be in front of a camera or microphone, and how many things you need to have going through your brain along with what you are trying to say, all happening at once! What we hear and see is a polished finished product, and Rudy\\u2019s is very impressive, as you will see when you tune into his show!

\\u201cYou have to stay driven, stay focused, you have to have an endgame. If you don\\u2019t have an endgame, in other words, the end answers to everything you\\u2019re trying to accomplish, you\\u2019re wasting your time.\\u201d

In this episode you will learn from Rudy what it takes to get a truly successful radio show / podcast up and running smoothly, how networking is essential in getting top guests, and we share a ton of laughs throughout, including the lifestyle change from the shiny lights of LA to the early snow in Cheyenne. This episode will fly by, you\\u2019ll love it, including the Hit Your Mark segment. Happy Listening!

\\u201cI want to be able to inspire others who are struggling. I understand wanting to be noticed. To take a look at the hard work you\\u2019ve been doing and let others comprehend there is an end to this despite the \\u201cno\\u2019s.\\u201d

\\u201cI\\u2019ve had a trillion \\u201cNo\\u2019s\\u201d in my lifetime and received the generic email of denial but you have to realize you can persist. You must stay passionate, aggressive and never take NO for an answer.\\u201d
