A surprising twist in the world of local media recently saw one of our familiar broadcasters—long a voice in homes and cars—go off the air. His show, beloved by many, was cancelled. But rather than fade away, he has turned this chapter into an opportunity, repurposing his decades of broadcasting experience into a new role: consultant at Brody & Co Business Services.
The End of the Broadcast, and a New Beginning
For years, the broadcaster built a strong connection with listeners through his show—his voice became synonymous with insight, timing, clarity, and credibility. Then came the cancellation. Whether due to shifting station priorities, budget constraints, or changing audience habits, his daily/weekly programme (whatever the schedule was) came to an end. For listeners, it was the closing of a familiar door. For him, it was the kind of jolt that forces choice: lingering in disappointment, or pivoting to something new.
He chose the pivot.
Why Broadcasting Skills Matter in Consulting
It may not be obvious at first glance why a broadcaster would excel in consulting—but on closer look, the skills map quite naturally:
-
Communication skills: A broadcaster must speak clearly, engage an audience, narrate ideas, structure a story. In consulting, communicating ideas clearly—internally with teams, externally with clients—is vital.
-
Organizational discipline: Running a show means planning, scheduling, meeting deadlines, coordinating guests, preparing content. These are strong project management skills.
-
Listening & responding: Good broadcasting is not just talking—it’s listening to the audience, gauging reactions, improvising, adjusting. Consultants must listen to data, stakeholder feedback, and quickly adapt strategy.
-
Storytelling & messaging: In media, conveying messages that resonate is central. Organizations need narratives too—vision, mission, clarity in purpose. Helping clients craft their own messaging can make a major difference.
So when his show ended, he wasn’t left twiddling thumbs—he took these skillsets and began a new journey.
