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 hosts Never 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 inside Did 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 Coleman Eventually 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 Francisco Turned 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.”
