Which came first, Marigold or Mary in the Morning?
Marigold in 2005, the radio show 2007. Marigold offers face-to-face interaction with women, which I will never give up.
Do you own Mary in the Morning?
No! I am an employee of Northern Broadcast. This was their idea, not part of my plan whatsoever. I was shocked when they approached me with the idea. I thought they were crazy!
Where did you get your radio experience?
Listening to Ron Jolly (WTCM) and Terry Gross (NPR). I admire Ron Jolly for his generosity in making sure all of his guests sound good. Terry Gross is a great role model for asking the unexpected question.
How early do you wake up?
4:45AM. It isn't pretty. The first hour of the show is pre-taped the day before, so I don't get to the studio until 6:30AM.
Is the show just for women?
When we started it was, not anymore. A funny thing happened: Men loved the show and at least half of our callers are men. Naturally, because my co-host Lori and I are both women, we offer a female perspective to issues and topics. This has been a bit of an experiment for management, and I truly appreciate their risk with a female talk host.

Salute to Women in Business
Each Sunday night, for the past 26 weeks, Marigold has sent out the Salute to Women in Business e-blast, announcing the honoree of the week. Tonight's edition was an invitation to the Grand Luncheon and Awards ceremony on May 5 honoring all 26 women along with the initial 26.
The program will begin again in September. I was asked if I was worried about finding another 26. Ha!, not in the least. We have a deep pool of talented and amazing female entrepreneurs in northern Michigan.
Here is something I want to share: Almost without exception, recipients have expressed a shared concern that they feel they do not "measure up" to the accomplished women they join in the group of honorees. These women are far too humble. Each women is chosen for her ingenuity, courage, business savvy, and or economic impact on the community. I am so proud to have this opportunity to cast the spotlight on each of them.
Join us as we honor these 52 women on May 5, at the Salute to Women in Business Grand Luncheon at GT Auto on US31. Click here for more info or to register.
