This week, founding host Dean Rotbart, a Wizard Academy graduate who served many years on the Academy’s faculty, shares the story of how a self-published children’s book author garnered global media coverage, reaching more than 2 million potential customers in a single day and zooming more than 1 million spots to the top of the Amazon charts.

The lessons to be gleaned by her success, Rotbart promises, can be applied by every business owner, entrepreneur, and author who’d like to attain blockbuster visibility without spending a dime on consultants, social media ads, or news releases.

How did the author of the children’s book do it? Well, it helps that she, too, is a Wizard Academy alumna and that Talya Rotbart is married to the self-anointed “Dean of Reputation.”

Monday Morning Radio is hosted by the father-son duo of Dean and Maxwell Rotbart.

Not for the first time, or even the second, or the tenth: Dean Rotbart’s scheduled guest on this week’s edition of Monday Morning Radio was a no-show.

You absentee guests know exactly who you are.  Shame on you!

The good news is that without a guest, Dean is able to reach into his Reputation Tool Chest and share three self-marketing gems for companies and individuals who seek the attention of journalists and other influencers. 

Dean has taught at The Wizard Academy since the early 2000s, first sharing his Newsroom Confidential insights, then Buzz Snatching, and most recently Reputation Tool Chest.  All three workshops have this in common: they defy the conventional wisdom of how influence is created, relying instead on deconstructing real-world success stories.

When they show up, Dean always enjoys interviewing business owners and experts, because he can not only share their wisdom with listeners, he can learn from his guests himself. This week, alas, he can only pass on what he already knows.

From the time she was in high school, Janine Stange was touched by our national anthem, The Star Spangled Banner, and all it represents. So she began singing it, and singing it, and singing it, right into the record books.

Now known as the National Anthem Girl, Janine has performed the Star Spangled Banner publicly thousands of times, in all 50-states, in venues from Madison Square Garden to Arlington National Cemetery, and at untold numbers of major sporting events, festivals, and patriotic celebrations.

In one 24-hour period last August, in fact, Janine performed publicly 24 different times.

For Janine, singing the national anthem is a cause, a passion, and increasingly a business. 

Does patriotism make for a good business platform?  This week on Monday Morning Radio, Janine will address that question, as well as share with host and reputation coach Dean Rotbart what it takes to be a hall of fame-caliber reputation builder.
