10 Questions with ... Joe Cheesman1. How in the world did you even get into radio?
My mom worked at various radio stations throughout my childhood. Some of my earliest memories happened at radio stations. When I got to college, I majored in Electronic Media with an emphasis in Audio Production.
2. What's one thing you wish you had known about radio when you first started?
I used to think that market size represented success. The bigger the market I climb to then the happier I'll be. That couldn't be further from the truth. Some of the most talented and happiest people I know are working in markets that are ranked around 200. I now understand that the people you're working with and the leadership you have can make or break an experience.
3. How has God pulled you out of your comfort zone?
I don't think I've ever really been in a "comfort zone". Especially since I started working in radio. I've worked in 5 different markets (Sioux Falls, Fargo, Orlando, Kansas City, and Columbus) in the past 10 years, so when I start figuring out where I'm going or what I'm doing God has called me to a new assignment.
