Media Tips 101 is designed for speakers and authors (anyone!) who know the value of sharing their story and their product through television and radio. Media talk shows are full of talking heads but you can be the media guest who shines!

Hundreds of radio markets across the United States, thousands of TV and radio stations, and a seemingly unlimited number of TV and radio shows are looking for great guests every day. They need guests for their shows! You have an opportunity to be the sought-after guest whom producers and guest coordinators love and are pleased to recommend to their colleagues.
