Changes Are Happening Now

We must become the change we want to see.
-Mahatma Gandhi

Hello BizRadio listeners! As you may have already noticed, this blog is not under the same maintenance anymore. I’d like to utilize this first entry to recognize the wonderful human being who began this blog, Cuc Roettele. Miss Roettele served not only as Dan Frishberg’s Executive Assistant/No. 1 Fan, but also as a wonderful co-worker and friend of the BizRadio staff. Not to mention, an amazing mentor for my writing.

At this moment, I would also like to formally introduce myself. My name is Marylu Rodriguez, I’m 22-years-old, and a firm believer that everyone has a story. I have been entrusted with writing about the sound of your money growing, and I hope I can offer another perspective on Dan’s amazing expertise. Although I won’t be able to fill Miss Roettele's shoes, I intend on leaving fine footprints of knowledge within my future readers. My goal is to become a journalist and bring light to issues that remain unnoticed in the shadows.

My journey with BizRadio started on a hot summer day in 2006. Elisea found me at the Houston Polo Club, where I live and, at the time, worked with my father. My father is a horse trainer who takes great care of Polo horses. I must’ve been wearing the oldest shirt I owned that day, but nonetheless - Elisea struck up a conversation with me. We talked about education, my goals, and most importantly my family. I shared that I was a Broadcast Journalism major and that I took a lot of pride in helping my dad on his ranch. Before I knew it, the conversation turned into an interview, and the next thing I knew – I had an internship set to start that Monday. The rest of the story is easy; I ended up working alongside some of the most creative and efficient people I’ll ever meet.

Now present day, I have come to the great realization that the staff of both BizRadio and FJSK Advisors has become a unity – an extended family if you will. We co-exist together like any other family would, through difficult times and the most spontaneous moments we’ll probably ever live. I’m surprised our IT department puts up with us, and at the same time very thankful for their patience. We depend highly on our technology to broadcast efficiently and carry out our company motto being, “Our success is directly correlated with the number of people we serve, and how big our impact is on their lives.”

We wish Miss Roettele the best in her future, and this blog is evidence that she will be greatly missed. Stay tuned to read about the sound of your money growing.
