BRX Pro Tip: Why You Should Be a Part of a Community
Stone Payton: [00:00:00] And we are back with Business RadioX Pro Tips. Stone Payton and Lee Kantor here with you. Lee, I’ve heard for much of my career, you should be part of a community. I believe that. I want to live into that. But why? What are the distinct benefits of being a part of a community?
Lee Kantor: [00:00:20] Well, there’s an old saying that says if you want to go somewhere fast, go alone. But if you want to go somewhere better, bring a crowd with you, or something along those lines. And I think that being part of a community rather than going at it alone is a better way to get a better result in the long term.
Lee Kantor: [00:00:37] At Business RadioX, everybody comes up to us and says, “Oh, why should I partner with Business RadioX? I can just do my own thing. I don’t need you guys to do any of that stuff.” And sure, the technology is out there to do a lot of the stuff that we do, but one of the big benefits of partnering with us is that you get access to a group of people who’ve been in this space for a long time that have been doing things in a different way and a successful way, and it can accelerate your learning and you can improve faster just by being part of the community. And the knowledge is great, but putting the knowledge into action is even better, and having a community around you that supports you and celebrates you as well as catches you when you fall, that’s going to help you get the ultimate outcome that you desire a lot faster and you’ll feel a lot better about it and you’ll be helping more people.
Lee Kantor: [00:01:28] A robust community will inspire you. They’ll challenge you. They’ll help you succeed. Your success is their success and their success is your success. You’re surrounded by people doing the same things you are doing, and you can learn from them. They’re available to you. They want to help you. Seeing someone in your community succeed helps keep you accountable. It helps keep you motivated to do more. So with the right community, you can do a lot of things and things that you maybe not even imagined that you could do.
Lee Kantor: [00:01:58] So that’s why at Business RadioX, it’s been very fulfilling to build this community and be part of this community and see the success of the studio partners that we have doing things that, you know, individually I don’t think you or I imagined that could be done using our platform, but people are very creative and are doing amazing things with this platform in markets all around the country. And, you know, we’re looking for other people that want to make a difference and want to, you know, get involved with a business that not only does well for themselves individually, but it also does well for the communities that they serve.
