our sponsors
Look, we have to pay the bills and this brand is my business. However, I’m not content doing only that. Every sponsor is vetted by me using the following criteria:
1) Are they a good fit for you the listener? Do they offer products or services that match what you want based on what you’ve told me?
2) Do I believe in the owners, and do I use their products and services?
3) Would I recommend them to a friend or family member? If the answer is no to any of these questions, I turn them down.
As a result, we have a group of partners and sponsors that love New Orleans like you do, and share our passion for New Orleans. They are people who have become my friends.
