Susan says, “Entrepreneurship is in my genetics- helped my grandmother bake pies for area restaurants and worked in our family restaurant at age 7. I supported myself through high school by painting anything on blue jeans and sold artwork while managing our family restaurant through my high school years. Married at age 20, a guy from the next small town in Ohio. We started a horseshoeing business in the winter and no one shoe’s their horses in the winter he didn’t know what to do. I told my husband to drive around the countryside and everywhere he saw a horse stop and give them a card. It actually worked. At age 20 we moved to Missouri and started the horseshoeing business again plus a horseshoeing school! While living on a cattle ranch, with milk goats, and a large garden we heated our home with wood and built a home with logs and natural resources from the ranch. I also had an antique business because of all the antiques in the barns where we went to shoe horses. After 10 years of living on the ranch we moved to the St Louis area and I went back into the restaurant/night club management. I joined a company and went around the United States opening 50/60’s themed nightclubs. In 1987 I moved to Tucson where my mother had moved and started in Business to Business sales. 1989 I started in Real Estate Sales and became an owner partner in a property management company. I sold that in 1998 moved to Michigan and started working in advertising sales at the Daily newspaper owned by Gannett and transferred to Tucson in 2007 working for the Arizona Daily Star, then managing the Saddlebag Notes and then left the corporate world starting the Oro Valley Voice and two years ago launching the Tucson Smart Shopper after the SavvyShopper left Tucson. In between, I joined two network marketing companies selling my downline and the other after reaching a nice level it went out of business.

I cannot remember any time that I have not been doing some kind of business for myself or for others. I love helping people”.

Business info: The Oro Valley Voice happened because a lot of my clients thought that I should start a community paper for just Oro Valley as it was really growing and they had to buy advertising in several publications. I put a business plan together and just did it. I had no loans, partners or really any money but many unbelievable things happened. I was approached by a person who had worked for the Savvy Shopper for many years and he said they were leaving town, we had many of the same clients and he said no one ever said anything negative about me and wanted to know if I would consider publishing the Tucson Smart Shopper 120,000 monthly magazines mailed 10 months out of the year. I got quotes and we started it. I have a lot of empathy.

After a long career as an executive in the Aerospace and Defense business and being a Mom, I recognize the dedication, time and endurance it takes to be successful both at home and working in a competitive industry. My personal experience at Fuchsia provided me the understanding that each of us needs and deserves a break from our busy lives to take time to relax and do something that makes us feel beautiful. After my personal experience, I couldn’t wait to bring this business to Tucson for my friends to enjoy.

Fuchsia was built and designed to bring delightful and relaxing services to a larger population who had been left out of the spa market. Beauty doesn’t have to come at a high price and Fuchsia’s goal is to provide the most current, results-based techniques in skin and body care along with with quality products, professional and passionate staff in an energetic, warm and welcoming environment. We use and sell high-end skincare products such as Eminence, Image and our own Fuchsia line. My goal is to provide every Fuchsia guest a wonderful, high-quality experience at an affordable price.

Business info: Fuchsia Spa is located at La Encantada, on the first level, across from Crate and Barrel, next door to Ann Taylor and Clark Shoes. We provide high-quality skin care services including facials, waxing and lash lifts as well as massage, and nail care

BRX Pro Tip: Revenue Streams Audio Books Transcript

Stone Payton: [00:00:00] And we are back with Business RadioX Studio Partner Pro Tips. Stone Payton and Lee Kantor here with you. Lee, we are often in search of and almost constantly just uncovering new revenue generation opportunities with this platform. One of those that has come up recently for us, again, I must say, is audio books.

Lee Kantor: [00:00:24] Right. This is — again, we’re around authors, we’re around people who are potential authors, and we have the equipment to record things, obviously, in audio format. Audio books are very popular nowadays, and a lot of people are trying to do it. They don’t have the skill to do it themselves. They don’t have the equipment to do it themselves. We have all of that in our studios. So, we should offer that up.

Lee Kantor: [00:00:49] And we recently picked up a client. He already had a book written. He was looking to — he had the rights to do the audio book himself, he didn’t know how to do it. And together, we figured out a way that we would make it work for both of us. In our specific instance, he is doing the recording himself with equipment that we’ve lent him. And then, we are going to be doing the editing and the getting it ready for audible. And that’s all available on the audible website. I think it’s ACX, if you Google that, you’ll be able to find what they need in terms of in order to publish it there. And we’ve put a young person on it, and we’re just facilitating it. And we’re going to pocket a nice chunk of change for making that happen.

BRX Pro Tip: Delivering Content Transcript

Stone Payton: [00:00:00] And we are back with Business RadioX Studio Partner Pro Tips. Stone Payton and Lee Kantor here with you. Lee, in this segment, let’s talk about how to deliver content for our clients.

Lee Kantor: [00:00:13] Content is one of our superpowers. In the act of doing the interviews, obviously, that is the starting point for a lot of the content, but it is not the only place where content lives. Some of the content is the pre, during, and post-show social media engagement. That is part of the content. Part of the content is the email ask to be a guest. That’s part of the content. The actual interview that we do with our guests is another part of the content, which opens up even more content because you can take that interview and use it by itself as a podcast, you could use it by itself as a live radio broadcast, you can cut it up, you can transcribe it, it could be blog post, tweets, it could be social media. You can use chunks of it as soundtracks for video. The amount of content that we create, it’s literally months’ worth of content for every interview if you really wring out all the juice from a given interview or a given episode.
