HOW TO SIGN UPTo sign up and learn more about being a Partner or Contributor on ZenBiz Radio, please e-mail Allan Holender at allan@zentrepreneurism.com Allan's Zenful Radio StoryAllan began his broadcasting journey at the tender age of 10. It was a cold and snowy afternoon in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and Allan's father was putting the finishing touches on the construction of CMVB RADIO (Make Believe Radio). It consisted of a studio in the den and a speaker in the kitchen. It was the sounds emanating from that 6" speaker that only a mother could love. In the "theatre of his own mind" Allan was the greatest DJ, news, sports and weather announcer to ever hit the airwaves. His first real live gig was on KGVO, Missoula, Mont., where Allan hosted the first live Jazz show ever in the state of Montana. "Al Comes Lately" was a big hit... only problem was most of the listeners were the employees of the sponsors, The Hall Tree Mens Clothing Store. In between Dizzy and Ella, Allan was pushing India Madras shirts. After graduating from the University of Montana, Allan found his way back to Vancouver, Canada where he toiled as a social worker, teacher, professional fund raiser and businessman. But always yearning to re-kindle his passion for radio. In 1995 he resurrected that little boy from radio Edmonton and became "Big Al" — hosting the most popular live radio show in Vancouver. "Big Al's Dance Party was born, and the theme was ...memories, music, mayhem or comedy, records and fun! The ratings at AM 1040 went through the roof... and for two years he was the toast of Saturday night. Big Al and his motley crew of characters... Cuzzin Freddy, Marvelous Mindy and Rockin Rob took you back to the golden music of the 40's and 50's, and Big Band. Throw in the Doowop Gal and Mickey the Music Man and his collection of 10,000 78' records from the 30's and you had a very unique show! All good things must come to an end or "enough of the funny stuff" — the station was sold to develop an all sports format and Big Al went back to traditional radio. He developed and hosted a highly successful business show for homebiz entrepreneurs on radio CFUN in Vancouver. The "HomeBiz Show" saw the station's ratings double for that time slot on Sunday mornings. Allan developed a feature called the "HomeBiz Minute" which was carried on the entire CHUM Radio Network across Canada. Based on the success of the show and Allan's contacts in the U.S. Allan was approached by the President of the Talk America Radio Network to syndicate his popular show. The HomeBiz Minute was picked up by 400 stations coast to coast across the U.S. In 2005 he partnered with good friend and colleague Bruce Stewart to host and co-produce BizTalk Radio on CISL, the Standard Broadcasting Network, a show targeted to small business owners. As a leadership and team building trainer, Allan has developed and delivered programs to colleges, universities, hospitals, and the corporate world. He has mentored entrepreneurs, CEOs, and senior management from some of North America's top-ranked companies. Allan gained his knowledge through first-hand experience as a business owner, "serial" entrepreneur, CEO, manager, leadership expert, teacher, writer, and broadcaster. He delivers his life lessons with both passion and humor — helping others to create that all-important balance between all the elements of one's life. Born in Edmonton, Alberta, Allan holds a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from the University of Montana. He went on to graduate school and shortly thereafter began a long career with the Big Brothers organization. Later he assumed senior administrative positions in advancement with the Universities of British Columbia and Alberta. Allan is a pioneer in the fund development industry, having founded two professional associations. CONTACT INFORMATION: Allan Holender
