I recently read a survey that suggests that tons of Gen Z and Millennials are breaking up with their rich friends due to the excessive costs associated with maintaining those friendships.
Las Vegas is a rough city when you’re the poor one. Trust me, I know first hand. I’ve dealt with being the poor friend when I was younger. It’s one of the reasons I love working in radio so much!
Life can be expensive, and radio gave me opportunities to do expensive things, but also to give back to our listeners in such meaningful ways.
From concert tickets to all-expenses-paid trips, our radio station strives to create unforgettable moments for our audience. There’s nothing quite like seeing the joy on someone’s face when they win a prize they’ve been dreaming about or when we surprise them with an incredible opportunity. It’s moments like these that remind me of the power of radio to bring happiness into people’s lives.
But it’s not just about the material things.
We’ve also had the chance to make a significant impact on people’s lives through our giveaways. One of the most memorable experiences was when we gifted a beautiful couple with IVF treatment that allowed them to fulfill their dream of starting a family. Being a part of their journey and witnessing their joy was truly heartwarming.
I’m aware that this job might not last forever, but for as long as I have the privilege of working in radio, I will continue to have a blast giving people incredible experiences. Seeing the smiles, gratitude, and sometimes even tears of happiness is an incredible reward in itself. It’s a reminder that radio has the power to make a positive difference in the lives of others, and I’m grateful to be a part of that journey.
Unfortunately, there are only so many radio jobs. Gen Z and Millennials aren’t all as fortunate as me.
