Focused on the positives & new beginnings. This morning I emailed the founder & the GM of Bondi Beach Radio and effective immediately I am stepping away from the radio station & have asked them to remove Hot & Delicious: Rocks The Planet! from the program grid. This decision is something that I've been contemplating for a few months now for a number of reasons, which out of respect for the BBR crew and myself I won't go into. I am a little sad, but relieved to have made the right decision for myself and the business, brand and podcast moving forward. The Hot & Delicious: Rocks The Planet! show will continue to go from strength to strength every single week on iTunes with some amazing international guests coming up including Matt Vroom (San Francisco-based tech founder of Henge Docks), inspiring American #socialentrepreneur Alexis Jones and while I can't announce anything just yet, there are a few big things brewing for the business moving forward!
