jazzisus (10:24:19 AM):Are
we ready for the interview?
A A: where do you want to
start?
jazzisus (10:24:41 AM):Today,
I'm here to get into your bizness!
jazzisus (10:25:03 AM):Please,
tell me what is Life Conversations Radio
and where did it begin?
A A: LCR is a branch of Life
Conversations...
A A: Life Conversations is
the company and Life Conversations Radio station is a mass medium of
global change through self empowerment; LCR is about changing lives one
conversation at a time
jazzisus (10:27:44 AM):(Forgive
me if I step away for a couple of minutes. It is morning time, ya know)
A A: drink some coffee girl..
A A: and wake up!
A A: I will use LC for Life
Conversations..., which is the company, and LCR for the radio
A A: Through the Life
Conversations company we offer personal development training, self
awareness workshops, multicultural celebrations, mentoring and a range of
other products listed on our website...
A A: the radio broadcast
serves as more of a forum for success or giving yourself that daily boost
of self awareness...
A A: we started off doing workshops etc
jazzisus (10:32:30 AM):I'm
back
A A: and in 2004, we branched
into radio
A A: on Ram Jam Radio
jazzisus (10:33:13 AM):Yes,
I visited Mr. P at RamJamRadio in London, with the Caustic Dames. Why did
you leave RamJam?
A A: through that wonderful
experience, we realized that there is a market for our work people want to
know that there are radio presenters who LISTEN as well as speak...
A A: the listeners were
really enjoying what they were hearing, wanted more and expressed their
gratitude via email, chat room i.e. the first forum for our interactive
conversations.
jazzisus (10:35:06 AM):What
is your online station's vision and aim?
A A: we left Ram Jam, because
we felt it was time to grow and, we needed a larger platform where we
could implement our creative ideas...and being on someone else's radio,
made that rather difficult
A A: doing the show on RJR
provided us with so much more opportunity in how we could develop
ourselves and the business; the business of creating a 24 hour forum of
communication dedicated exclusively to enhancing the quality of life
jazzisus (10:37:40 AM):Yes,
from what I know of you and Ombassa, you have a huge gift for the world,
which needs space, time and invention
A A: ok diva
A A: I know you had your
coffee
jazzisus (10:38:59 AM):Yessssssssssssssh,
Mishter, I did
jazzisus (10:39:12 AM):
cooooooooooool
A A:
good
A A: Also, RJR was primarily
a music radio station,
A A: so, we basically left to
do our own thing, go full force with our life's mission
A A:which
is to empower and uplift others through Life Conversations Radio
A A:Life
Conversations Radio is about community not just in UK but also in
world
A A: initially, it
started with us wanting to set up a studio in Hastings...a studio just for
the show; so we wont have to keep traveling to where the next station was
going to be but the more we talked about what we wanted
to do and what was possible we realized that, instead of settling for just
a studio, we can setup our own radio
station with the aim of expanding what we are already doing and
empowering other to share their gifts and talents.
jazzisus (10:40:53 AM):How
does Life Conversations hope to achieve these magnanimous goals?
A A: we have carefully
scheduled programs with expert speakers to discuss a range of issues
affecting the lives of people for people not just in our community, but
communities around the globe.
A A: we will offer special
advertising programs, host contests and community events all things that
encourage people to interact with one another positively on a global scale
jazzisus (10:46:13 AM):Who
are the founders of Life Conversations?
jazzisus (10:46:57 AM):What
are special advertising programs?
A A: the founders are Ade
Anifowose and Ombassa Sophera
A A: I am about to give you the visions..
A A: actually, let's come
back to that, I want to give it to exactly as we have on paper....
A A: JC you truly a TRIP!!!!
A A: but [our Buddy System]
is basically a program for businesses that want to secure FREE
international advertising exposure
A A: free advertising in
exchange for broadcasting the station in your place of business during
Community Hour each day from 12pm-5pm
A A: this Buddy System
program is only open to a select number of businesses to reserve space for
sponsors and advertisers
A A: what's important to
remember is that, all our programs will be produced with the intention of
educating, empowering and inspiring
A A: we will have programs of
Health and well being, Parenting, Business advice, news of what's going on
in our community, also, show that are produced and presented by and for
young people
A A: of course
A A: music; so our Buddy
System participators should own businesses with goals that compliment the
station in some way; we will have six US participants and six UK
businesses
A A: LCR is 70% and 30% music with listeners in 28 countries around the
world
JAZZISUS (10:58:07 AM):sorry,

A A: Ombassa can give even
further details on spiritual mission behind Cruise for Peace; we're
securing great sponsorship right now so that may influence other factors

and activities on board as well
A A: And since our
demographic is quite large, as we are planning to reach a broad audience
from diverse communities, background and cultures ranging from children to
the elderly; But for the Cruise for Peace, there won’t be any
children under 18
A A: speaking of the elderly, we will have shows on dealing with "Life
after Retirement", "things to do to stay active" etc
JAZZISUS (11:19:55 AM):How
can my company, FYI COMMUNICATIONS, INC. partner with LIFE CONVERSATIONS
RADIO ?
JAZZISUS (11:21:07 AM):When

The keyword is "Organized".
A A: the information about the cruise will be posted very soon
JAZZISUS (11:21:58 AM):Hey,
I answered my own question. W.O.M.E.N. can be a part of Life Conversations
Radio . We can broadcast our interactions while helping each other,
globally.
A A: we also will do
interviews with local people, people in UK, USA and anywhere else in the
world who sharing tools of empowerment and those that assisting people to
live their best life
A A: we understand the power of media
A
A: W.O.M.E.N fits perfectly in to what LC is about and we will do whatever
if needed to assist the birthing and actualizing the idea
JAZZISUS (11:22:53 AM):I
will email you as the program moves forward, in the meantime, back to our
interview
A A: and it has been used
(in my opinion) to take away people's power (general speaking) we want and
will change that...by giving power back to the community, the world
community!
JAZZISUS (11:23:44 AM):pardon
me, "it has been used" you mean the media
JAZZISUS (11:24:09 AM):So,
your independence gives you creative license?
A A: yes, the mean
A A: sorry
A A: I meant the “media”
JAZZISUS (11:24:52 AM):You
can use your resource the way you want to use it, without fear of
censorship, especially since your message is uplifting.

JAZZISUS (11:26:36 AM):When

situation.
JAZZISUS (11:27:03 AM):When

nothing is sure.

built this new station
