Talk radio is very popular in the Caribbean but the topics centre mainly on politics or bacchanal of some type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With his online radio, The L.A.B Radio, Arnold Best is using the medium to inspire and motivate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He says it is what the world needs as it emerges from the last two years of lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDuring the pandemic, a lot of people started to listen to foreign motivational speeches, they were unsure about their lives, career, and money, they were looking for hope and inspiration. They decided not to go the God way or religious way. They were listening to Gary Vee, Tony Robbins etc because they were putting out tons of content. Those people realised the world needed that voice,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPeople found channels on YouTube that they were locked onto, some people slept with those channels running. During the pandemic, people wanted that hope but it didn\u2019t come to me at that point to do radio,\u201d Best adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A Tony Robbins-trained results coach, Best has built his name changing the lives of individuals and working with companies to get the best out of their employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said it was while travelling to do a lecture at the Hilton Trinidad that he heard a voice urging him to do more. During the pandemic lockdown, Best started a podcast to help boost positivity at a time when many were unsure about what was happening in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, the voice told him the podcast wasn\u2019t enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t take it on. I went on stage, did the talk, and went back to the car. I heard the voice again and it said \u2018start a radio station\u2019. I stayed up that night researching until three in the morning, learning about online radio and what it takes. I knew I wanted to do more but sometimes the universe allows you to ask questions and when you ask you don\u2019t often expect the answer,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
