* When teaming up with someone, it is important to find people that you already have chemistry with.
* Working with people that you like is easier, but it's also important to separate friendship from work.
* Going in with an open group mentality, focusing on the team rather than the individual, is the best thing to do when pairing two or more people.
* Attention, even if negative, is good attention for a new show. People that hate you at first are genuinely invested in the radio station, and they may come around with time.
* It's important to remember that building a relationship with listeners takes time, just like building a personal relationship.
