Jeannette talks to Stephanie Hirst, and delivers a dynamic masterclass in resilience and career longevity.
From her childhood ambition to get inside the radio studio—fueled by persistence and a little mischief—to navigating the high-pressure world of national radio and TV, Stephanie shares the secrets to her success, diving deep into the necessity of constant reinvention, the power of listening, and how a simple philosophy of "believe and achieve" can manifest extraordinary professional and personal victories
You'll hear why:
- The key to a long and successful career in any industry is continuous reinvention
- The best piece of advice she ever received was to truly listen, as the next question written down may not be the one you should ask
- Having a strong tribe or inner circle of friends is crucial for mental well-being,
- Her personal philosophy, rooted in a childhood determination to work in radio, is that believing you can do something is the first step to achieving it
- While passion is essential, successful broadcast professionals must understand that the industry is fundamentally a commercial business driven by ad revenue
