    The Power of Just Because

    Spend enough time around any mature, successful industry – radio included – and you’ll find an environment that isn’t necessarily welcoming new ideas unless those new ideas are attached to a firm business plan. On one hand, how can you blame folks for this? After all, shouldn’t everything we do at one stage or another add value to the consumer experience? And shouldn’t that value come back to us in the form of dollars? Well, maybe not right away. And maybe not directly. Reven
