Playing Small
Moment

Kim thought that in order to
continue her radio station she needed to merge with someone else.
She met a woman who owned a radio station in Michigan, and
ultimately this partnership didn’t work out. Kim closed the doors
on everything and told her client she was done, but they told her
“Kim, you are not a quitter”. Kim and her client merged under Kim’s
radio station and the platform that she had started 3 years
prior.

The Wake Up
Call

Kim had an ‘aha’ moment when she
fell asleep at the wheel; she knew at that moment she was living
without passion in her life.
