Talent Coaching: Steve & Tim
Even the best athletes, musicians and actors need coaching. It’s how we improve. The key is learning to embrace the process to accelerate the growth curve. The more comfortable we are with coaching, the faster we improve.
We have worked with some of the most talented personalities in the media industry. His successes include hiring Mojo in the Morning in Detroit in 2000 where it still drives rating and revenue success today. He helped Johnjay and Rich grow their brand from Tucson to become a nationally syndicated show that has thrived for years. Most recently, Smith Richards Collective developed The Morning Mess on LIVE 101.5 in Phoenix and helped the show with its launch plan into the Los Angeles market.
Even the best radio brands are not guaranteed ratings success. Today’s methodology is subject to extreme fluctuation from survey to survey. Smith Richards Collective has developed a system to give you a competitive edge. Reaching your audience is a multi-faceted exercise.
As listeners migrate to digital platforms, it’s critical to develop a marketing plan that meets them where they are. We have a research team focused on identifying the biggest and best ratings opportunities. Schedule a 30 Minute Zoom to see how we can help you grow your ratings.

What can I say about Steve Smith? Steve has been an integral part of the success of the Roger & JP show in TWO markets and in TWO different formats. Our show on 102.3 WBAB on Long Island has been winning for the better part of 22 years. Long Island is a market where all the big guns from NYC are aimed right at us and with Steve’s help, we’ve been able to maintain ratings success for a very very long time. Steve saw our success, our work ethic and our win at all costs attitude and decided to give us a shot at doing talk radio on 102.5 The Bone in Tampa. Now, in mornings on Long Island, we play 5 or 6 songs an hour. Talk radio is something we’ve always wanted to do and Steve is one of only people in my career that backed his words up with actions and 7 years ago, the Roger & JP show was given a shot at mid days on The Bone and we took the ball and ran with it. With Steve’s coaching and the overall connection we’ve had with him, we won in Tampa quick! Steady top 5 adults and top 3 with men 25-54. All while talking to a Tampa audience from our studios on Long Island.
Truth of the matter is, anyone lucky enough to be coached by Steve Smith is IMMEDIATELY put in a position to win. Steve will pull the best out of your talent. If he doesn’t, it’s because your talent thinks they know more than he does. They do not!
Over the years I have turned to Tim for not just career advice but life skills. These skills are the reason I’ve been able to get through numerous challenges both professionally but more importantly personally. What companies sometimes don’t understand is when you have your talent happy in their personal life, they will be more productive for you in both ratings and revenue. Tim is the talent coach you want on your team!!
I had the opportunity to work for Steve Smith in 4 different capacities and radio stations for a total of 8 years.
Steve is not only one of my biggest mentors, but is someone that knows how to treat people. I was fortunate en to work with Steve at successful situations in San Jose, Phoenix, and New York. Steve not only had amazing ideas that would break the mold, but would also listen and execute ideas from myself and others. The word "team" gets thrown around a lot today, but with Steve, it WAS a team. And that is what lead to success.
I can continue on for a long time about how Steve pioneered groundbreaking and industry changing formatics and formats. Steve is one of the most passionate people int he business, and this comes out in every station or project he works on.
Steve is a brilliant programmer, an amazing person, and I will cherish the years I had working with him.

Steve Smith is a master programmer. Steve knows programming and how to find and manage talent at a super-star level. He has an incredible track record of programming experience and success. His skills were a huge help in bringing the programming success we needed to monetize content. Steve's a fun guy to work with, and I enjoyed our time together.

Heidi possesses a drive, enthusiasm, and an unmatched attention to detail that is rare in today's marketplace. She fully invests herself in each of her market's and clients' projects. Good is not an option that Heidi considers. Excellent is the only outcome she will accept. Friendly and approachable, Heidi is great to work with, and an asset to those around her.
Tim's ability to be open to new ideas for radio allowed me to have a successful talk show. Tim made himself available to me to discuss what needed to happen on the show. Tim was an integral part of creating the original talk show I hosted and getting management to back it and put it on the air. I love Tim's enthusiasm, dedication to his industry and his ability to connect with a wide variety of personalities. I would work with him again in a heart beat!
