TEM155: Embracing change and reaching a quarter of a million people every week - A conversation with Suzanne Bona

Suzanne Bona is the host of Sunday Baroque, a radio show heard by over a quarter of a million people every week on over 200 stations nationwide.

The TEM Question of the Week:

  • What skills have you acquired from a non-dream job that you've been able to utilize as an entrepreneur and did you realize those skills might be eventually useful at the time?

  • How she founded Sunday Baroque which is now carried by over 200 radio stations across the country and heard by a quarter million people every week
  • The brilliant idea she negotiated for herself when she started a full-time sales job at a radio station which enabled her to learn the ropes of radio
  • The skills she learned in her sales job that directly applied to her future entrepreneurial endeavors
  • How she she ended up partnering with NPR to both produce and distribute Sunday Baroque and the factors that led them to amicably part ways after they had outgrown one another
  • The benefits of being a small and nimble operation
  • How technology is becoming a great equalizer in the world
  • Her attitude that change is hard but change is also interesting
  • Why Susan still tries to see each episode of Sunday Baroque through a different lens even after 31 years
