You see other people with great testimonials and wonder how they made that happen. It seems really hard to get people to write great comments about you or your business even when you are delivering incredible work. How can you make this happen for you? Also, you might think that because you are a working professional, you don't need testimonials like a business might have.  You simply could not be more wrong.  A sentence or two of praise from a client, customer, colleague or boss can be incredibly helpful as you make your next move or try to attract your next customer. We explain the power of a testimonial and we tell you how to get it for yourself in this step by step process. And we share some incredible tips on what you can learn from this process. This episode is pure gold. It's absolutely some of the strongest why and how to we've ever delivered on the podcast. You're going to want to listen to this one — maybe more than once.

This is a deep cut. It's an episode from November 2014 of the Your Day radio show which ran for 14 years on South Carolina Public radio. At one point on that show, Eric Rogers and Phil Yanov would co-host a technology call in. The pace was relaxed and fun. There was quite a bit of good natured banter between the calls. It was Car Talk, but about technology. Our tech call ins usually ran on Thursdays and we would take calls for an hour live on the air, and then for another 40 minutes off the air. This is (mostly) a full episode from the show. Thanks to Clemson University Broadcast Productions for the audio.  News: Your Day Ends.

Kio Stark is the author of When Strangers Meet, the novel Follow Me Down and the independent learning handbook Don’t Go Back to School.
