Imaging company Benztown and the National Radio Talent System have selected Nick Tehrani (pictured), graduate of the KBA Radio Talent Institute at Western Kentucky University, as the Benztown Mentorship Program’s fourth-quarter mentee.
Through the program, Fred Jacobs, President of Jacobs Media Strategies, and Bob Lawrence, VP of Programming, Saga Communications, will personally mentor Tehrani in their Detroit-area offices and studios for two days in October. Jacobs and Lawrence will also mentor Tehrani virtually throughout the fall academic semester.
Jacobs said, “As radio broadcasters, we owe it to our industry and the next generation to pay it forward. But I’m secretly hoping to learn new things from Nick.”
Lawrence added, “It’s truly an honor to be involved and have a role. Any time we have the opportunity to offer a young person as passionate as Nick some inspiration and education, then we play our part in passing on a torch that still burns strongly in the industry. I’m very much looking forward to learning what excites this next generation.”
