Q and A with Tina from South Carolina, United States
“Your foremost purpose should center around aiding others.”
Q: Tell us about yourself.
A: I am deeply committed to witnessing people achieve victory in their endeavors. My expertise lies in empowering entrepreneurs and podcasters to unlock the full potential of their brands, bolster their credibility, and exert influence through the dynamic realm of podcasting. Drawing from a rich background as a radio personality, a content creator spanning a decade, and a producer/host of a streaming TV show featured on IMDb, my true passion lies in the realm of podcasting.
In my perspective, podcasting stands as a potent equalizer, bridging the gap between small startups and established giants in the business world. The reach, marketing capabilities, access, and exposure that podcasting offers are immeasurable and enduring. Crafting, nurturing, expanding, and participating in a multitude of podcasts is akin to having your business prominently displayed on a perpetual billboard, visible every day of the year across diverse cities, states, countries, and towns. Podcasting is an ever-awake platform, facilitating seamless and enduring connections that eternally preserve the essence of your life, business, pivotal moments, and opportunities. Being a podcast host or a guest ensures an enduring relevance and consistency that extends months and even years beyond the initial podcast release, channeling an unceasing impact and guiding individuals toward a wealth of opportunities.
At present, my focus is directed toward assisting entrepreneurs in transforming their businesses into podcasting ventures, thereby cultivating multiple streams of income. In tandem, I am also extending this guidance to podcasters through the conduit of CTR Media Network.

Q: What were your younger years like?
A: From an early juncture in my life, I harbored an unwavering desire to occupy a role that could catalyze positive change and lend a voice to those who remained unheard. As an only child growing up in the embrace of a close-knit circle of family and friends within a quaint small town, the world appeared vast and brimming with potential. However, as I matured, an increasing realization began to dawn upon me: the confines of our town were more restricting than I had initially perceived—not in terms of the richness of our community’s spirit, but in the realm of access and opportunity.
Our town, while teeming with remarkable individuals—seasoned pioneers who reshaped destinies, youthful dreamers unafraid to chase their aspirations and unsung middle-aged leaders—exhibited a certain warmth emanating from knowing virtually everyone. This warmth, however, was tinged with the melancholic awareness of limitations that often accompanied such an intimate setting. My formative years were enriched by biographies and biblical tales; I wasn’t a child engrossed in Dr. Seuss but rather captivated by the chronicles of lives lived. The narratives recounted by our elders about history’s pages enthralled me, and my dedication to community service alongside my family, facilitating literacy and tutoring, further ingrained a culture of giving back.
Within my family, we cultivated a tradition centered around service to God, aiding others, harmonizing through song and dance, relishing in shared meals, and weaving tales of the day and yesteryears. The prospect of absorbing the sagas of the past from those who had traversed time’s tapestry left me yearning for moments when I could sit at the feet of my elders, friends, and family, absorbing their narratives. Thus, with their consent, I transmuted their stories into the written word—embellishing them through poems and anecdotes, ensuring their enduring presence. The gratification and boundless joy this brought me were immeasurable. Observing individuals who had triumphed over adversity and accomplished remarkable feats became a wellspring of inspiration, stirring not only my earthly senses but also nurturing my spiritual connection.
My ardor for teaching and sharing knowledge burgeoned, eventually leading me to the path of becoming an educator. I aspired to be a purveyor of inspiration, a beacon of empowerment to surmount challenges, and a resounding voice of confidence that nurtured belief within my students, as well as my esteemed colleagues. The tapestry of my life, woven with threads of volunteerism and spiritual devotion, endowed me with an acute acumen for attentive listening, allowing me to hear not merely with my ears, but with the very chambers of my heart. This ability, combined with an innate propensity for action and support, matured through the crucible of experience.
Growing up amidst the confines of a small town, I came to comprehend the profundities of community on a profound level. This upbringing impelled me to plumb the depths of communal engagement, channeling my efforts to ensure a lasting positive impact.
Q: What is something valuable you’d like others to know?
A: It’s crucial for everyone to recognize that life, in its essence, is far from easy. And should you choose to embark on the entrepreneurial journey, brace yourself for an even tougher road. Success is a blend of victories and setbacks, and it’s important not to let these setbacks, which I often refer to as “teachable moments,” impede your progress. Embrace the notion of starting anew and persisting, regardless of challenges.
I underwent a transformation where I had to release the shackles of past pain, trauma, and anguish. I had to rebuild my trust and learn to seek and accept assistance from the right sources. As your business evolves, be mindful that there comes a juncture where individual effort alone won’t suffice. This is when investing in additional education, coaching, and mentorship becomes indispensable. True success doesn’t blossom from a solitary endeavor but rather flourishes within a community of like-minded individuals, all ready and willing to aid you in your journey—your reciprocation becomes their aid in return. Forge enduring connections and grasp the pivotal principle: Your business isn’t crafted solely for monetary gain. Your foremost purpose should center around aiding others. Remember the dual “P” approach: prioritize people, with profits taking the rear seat. This mindset inevitably leads to financial rewards.
My mission is for others to realize that if I can triumph, so can they. I’m no different from anyone else; my strength lies in an unyielding spirit and the discipline to consistently show up, especially during the most arduous times.
Q: What does feminism mean to you?
A: To me, it’s a fundamental principle that women should have equal visibility and voice across all spheres of life, with the unrestricted opportunity to thrive in any field they choose. Navigating the podcast media industry as a woman isn’t a straightforward path, yet I proudly stand here, actively contributing to forging a trail that invites other women to join our ranks. Through the dynamic medium of podcasting, we’re defying the odds in this male-dominated landscape and inviting fellow women to partake in amplifying their stories. Together, united in purpose, we can overcome challenges and blaze a trail toward success.
