“Someone has always believed in me more than I have believed in myself” is the big takeaway from today’s podcast guest. Local/National Radio and TV personality and Home Improvement Expert Gary Sullivan joins Jeff on the podcast. Gary is usually the guy doing the interviewing, but not today; Jeff interviews Gary! Jeff is giddy to talk to the pioneer of home improvement and how he was the spark to the viral home improvement media industry. Gary helped educate folks on how to care for their homes correctly, not cheap and easy. He treats callers into his show like customers who walk into a hardware store.
Gary explains that he has enjoyed staying busy all his life and helping people take care of their homes with expert tips. He walks us through his career and how it started at his grandfather’s store pricing merchandise. Eventually, he managed multiple Hader Hardware stores while doing talk radio and television at a local/national level. In the beginning, Gary was not at all interested in radio and television. It took a big push from Jim Hader, who believed in him. Eventually, Gary took full ownership with partners of many Hader Hardware stores. After many years, he sold those to focus on his media career and involvement on the Board of Habitat for Humanity. It all “just sorta happened said Gary.
He discovered something very interesting about himself, too…He could not read very well or memorize scripts unless he was read to or read aloud. No wonder he wasn’t a good student or a fan of school. Gary explains how he got help along the way in his career, his drive and how taking risks paid off.
In his career, Gary has met many famous people, and he shares some stories of their interactions. What’s next for Gary? He has cut back on television, and his schedule is more manageable now while enjoying the radio show. He is spending leisure time with his wife, kids and grand-kids and is grateful to appreciate all he’s got!
