It was such an amazing opportunity to be on Jim Beach’s radio show! Here’s a guy who really does his homework! He asked questions only my mother would know to ask! Seriously… He really knows how to pull the very best insights from his guests and clearly delivers them to his listeners. I can’t wait to be on his show again!

I had such a great time on Jim’s show! It was not the usual interview–there was great back and forth, and he kept me on my toes. I am an attorney for artists and entrepreneurs, and he really explored the legal and practical issues that affect startups in an entertaining and provocative way.

Gold Dust Publicity represents lots of authors. We are always looking for “great radio” for our guests. Great radio starts with a host who cares, prepares thoroughly, understands the topic and treats the guest with respect. More than that, we are looking for shows with a big reach, ideally that cover multiple markets and potentially large audiences. Jim Beach and SFS Radio deliver great radio.

I confess to being more than a little nervous in anticipation of my interview. However, Jim Beach is the consummate host — considerate, well-prepared, and downright funny. This has been a great way to get publicity for our new book and talk about the Baldrige program — promoting excellence in all sectors in America. Jim’s knowledge about the quality movement beginning with Dr. Deming and extending to the Baldrige National Quality Award was refreshing. I only wish more stations covered his show.

Jim has been awesome to work with. You can tell he took the time to research both our company and the industry we work in. We walked away feeling our story as a startup company was told, but also with the valuable insight he provided. I couldn’t recommend doing his show enough.

AJ Wilcox

Since my book was published in late 2014, I’ve had the opportunity to be interviewed on multiple radio shows and podcasts. While I’m grateful for those opportunities, they all pale in comparison to my experience with Jim Beach. Not only was he flawlessly prepared but he brought so much humor and lightness to our dry topic; mergers and acquisitions. I had so much fun and was able to convey my messages in clear, concise sound bites. I’ll be able to reference this interview for years to come and hopefully help Jim and his team build his network.

Jim Beach is an outstanding host with years of experience interviewing authors on a range of complex topics. He asks intelligent questions and really engages. I was anxious, because I have very little experience talking my way through a radio interview. He helped guide me through the whole process and made it enjoyable.

School for Startups Radio is a great platform for entrepreneurs to tell the world about their unique skillset or business endeavor. Jim Beach is a great interviewer who has the innate skill of carefully listening to the guest and then asking a follow-on question that expands and clarifies on remarks made by the guest. I had a great time on the show and recommend it to any entrepreneur with an interesting story to share with Jim’s listening audience. Here’s to continued success with the show and expansion to many more cities.

First, let me say that Jim is an awesome host and interviewer. He put me at ease and we just really talked. Even when we had a minor technical issue, he kept calm and walked me through the issue AND how he was correcting it. Second, I want to thank Jim for the wonderful experience. Compared to other radio/network interviews this was coordinated with more ease. I look forward to a “part 2” or “where they are now” opportunity later on.

I was quite nervous before chatting with Jim as this was my first radio interview in the US. However, as soon as Jim started talking it felt like connecting with an old friend. It was such a pleasure chatting with him and sharing my story. Instead of asking the typical “interview” questions, Jim went with the flow which made me feel so comfortable. Thank you, School for Startups Radio, for this wonderful opportunity!

Jim is a true professional. When our talk was originally scheduled, he had not received information about me yet. He could have just winged it, as he has interviewed so many people before. Instead, he wanted to reschedule our time, so that he would be genuinely prepared. Thank you, Jim, for asking great questions, and for being the penultimate professional!
