In January 2012, we decided to transition from our business radio show on 880AM “The Biz” to the exciting new frontier of internet podcasts. This weekly show, where we dove into business matters within Miami, was hosted by Wilson Alvarez alongside several co-hosts including Business Broker Ralph Geronimo, Banker Armando Trabanco, and other members of MiamiBusiness.com.
As podcasts began to gain popularity, we saw an opportunity to innovate. We launched B2B Radio, streaming our sessions online—a pioneering concept at the time. To reach our audience, we harnessed the power of Facebook and instant messenger, promoting our show to Miami’s business community.
Our setup was simple yet effective: a round table with four chairs, fostering dynamic and engaging conversations on a variety of business topics. Each session was a deep dive into different aspects of business, ensuring our discussions were always fresh and insightful.
We held our sessions at the Palmetto Bay Village Center, generously sponsored by Attorney Scott Silver, who provided us with access to their excellent facilities. This venue became the backdrop for our lively and informative discussions, offering a professional environment that enhanced the quality of our show.
B2B Radio was more than just a podcast; it was a vibrant hub for business minds to connect, share, and learn. Our innovative approach and engaging content quickly garnered a loyal following, marking the beginning of a new era in how we communicated with our audience.
In this exciting new chapter, we continued to explore the evolving landscape of business, bringing fresh perspectives and valuable insights to our listeners. The shift to internet streaming allowed us to reach a broader audience, solidifying our position as a leading voice in Miami’s business community.
