Well at I Do What I Want
Radio, we have a Street Team like many other stations to get the word out on
the streets about what’s going on. We wanted to take a different approach when
it came to this, if there was someone who enjoyed the station who was in “No
mans land”. Why couldn’t they get the benefits like someone else that is doing
hard online social media work.
Now even though the
person you are about to meet is in our HQ of Kansas City, Missouri. This person
shows what it takes to get the job done.
“The Godfather”
JS: So
Tim let's give everyone a chance to get to know you. Why are you "The
Godfather" of the I Do What I Want Radio Street Team?
So basically I am The Godfather because I was one
of the first people that was asked to
start the street team when we started. And being I am one of the most active
and dedicated members I got nicknamed The Godfather.
JS: How
Committed to the team are you, what drives you?
Ahhh the dedication. I consider myself
fully dedicated to street team as well as the station itself. At any given time
you can find me telling someone new about us and what we do. It's a lot of fun
and the different people you meet is amazing. Also because I feel people
have such a deep connection with music like I do, it makes my job a little
easier not counting a the concerts I get to see and everything I’m involved in.
JS: How
do you find it best to promote the station, events, and concerts?
I feel one of the best ways to promote is just get
out and talk to people. I have been spreading the news since before we launched
over almost 2 years ago. And I tell everyone about the station. Usually people
I know hear I am a part of the station and they ask me what it is all about. So
I tell them we play every genre of music so everyone can listen and enjoy. I
use Facebook a lot too but just getting out and passing out fliers and talking
to people seems to travel faster.
JS: What
do you normally tell people about the station that has never heard of I Do What
I Want Radio?
I tend to tell people the same thing. Basically
we are an internet radio station that plays something for everyone. If there is
something you want played drop us a line. Or if you are a musician, send us
your music. We play what people want to hear without repeating the same 20
songs all day and night.
JS: What
does it mean to you to have Street Team ethics?
Street team ethics to me is respecting the name
and being on point when we are out at events and concerts. Yes we like to have
fun but we also like to work. It's all about passion. If you aren't passionate
about what you do you will never enjoy it.
JS: Last
but not least Godfather, how many golf balls can fit into a 747?
32,174 golf balls will fill a 747. (Laughing) But
on a serious note, which is rare from most of us, I enjoy being a part of I Do
What I Want Radio and the street team. I have met a bunch of awesome people and
feel like I am part of the family. And if you haven't gave us a listen The
Godfather will find you and have you dealt with appropriately.
JS: With all do respect I’m thinking you used Google or Bing to help
with the 747 question, lol. But if you have read this and you find yourself
wanting to be a little more involved in the Station, or in the Street Team
please let us know.
