New StartupNation Radio Show for Entrepreneurs to Premiere This Weekend on WJR-AM 760

Birmingham, MI (PRWEB) December 06, 2013

StartupNation.com, a leading online resource for entrepreneurs, has announced the re-launch of a new radio show for entrepreneurs and small business owners on greater Detroit’s WJR 760AM. Hosted by Jeff Sloan and Dan Glisky, the StartupNation radio show will premiere on Saturday, December 7 at 2-3pm EST and will focus on real-world startup and business growth advice.

The StartupNation radio show format will feature listener call-ins, along with interviews of successful business leaders. The inaugural show will feature an interview with Dan Gilbert, Founder and Chairman of Quicken Loans, the nation’s largest online home lender, and the majority owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers. Listeners can expect to hear action-oriented and inspirational guidance to help them start and grow a business of their own.

“The StartupNation radio show is about entrepreneurship and people achieving their dreams, by starting their own business. Many entrepreneurs have a business idea in their minds but are not sure how they can turn their idea into a real business,” states Sloan, co-founder and CEO of StartupNation. “Our radio show will demonstrate that entrepreneurial dreams can come true – and we’ll be giving entrepreneurs tangible tips, strategies and guidance to get them going in the right direction.”

In addition to spearheading many small businesses himself, Sloan also served as co-founder of the Michigan Venture Capital Association and Digital Detroit, both non-profit organizations promoting Michigan’s high tech and venture communities. Sloan was also a winner of a 2013 Small Business Influencer “Champion Award”. Glisky is President and COO of StartupNation and is a serial entrepreneur with experience in launching technology, media, import, distribution, security and marketing companies. Consistently leading award-winning growth companies, Glisky was named one of the top 100 emerging business leaders in greater Detroit.

StartupNation’s mission is to catalyze the launch of one million new businesses in the coming 10 years. The launch of the radio show is an important extension of the brand to reach additional would-be entrepreneurs as well as current business builders in pursuit of this mission. In addition to the broadcast on WJR 760AM, the show will be streamed on the StartupNation website at http://www.startupnation.com/radio.
