"we're reinventing the radio business — and our own job descriptions — on a daily basis."

"I'm most passionate about the things that are talked about at the Barrett Media Audio Summit. Those are the things I really consider every day that are really my life. Forget three hours, like I could do three days talking about all the nuances of the industry"

"You have the smartest broadcasting executives and the greatest air talent. We can all learn from each other. We all borrow from each other. Getting together is a lot like the developers' conferences in the tech world. That's what this is. It's where we come up with ideas and move the business forward."

"I'll go for as long as they keep having the summit. I feel like I leave for a couple of days every year with a notebook full of actionable items. It's not similar to a rah-rah event. There's meat on the bone where I take things that I can bring back to our media group and implement."

"Risk taking and innovation are a lost art."

"The Audio Summit has evolved into the premiere, if not the only, event that covers our industry from such a broad and unique perspective. This summit has become the one event that you try to attend as a programmer. Plus, a talent as well if it's applicable."

"It always reminds me of what we hear about NCAA Basketball Final Four weekend, where up-and-coming coaches go to mingle and share resumes with high-level programs."

"For those of us who love the spoken word formats, it is crucial that we get together to support each other and learn from others who have been there before."

"I’m always excited to see and hear about what the newest digital initiatives are. AI, obviously, has been something that's been featured in the last couple of summits. I'm sure it'll play a big role in this one coming up."

I'm always interested in hearing how companies are successfully balancing strong local content with evolving digital consumption habits.
