By Fred Jacobs | April 1, 2025

The world is a competitive place, whether you’re one of the four still standing in March Madness, trying to get your hands on one of those New York Yankee “torpedo bats,” or you’re trying to navigate your station or your company through these “tariff terrors.” Sometimes, life is just unfair.

What’s On Your Bucket List?

By Fred Jacobs | March 31, 2025

Are you one of those people who keeps a “bucket list” of all the things you want to do before you die? According to Stanford University’s School of Medicine, 90% of us have one. And now, rock n’ roll’s biggest hype artist is launching a “bucket list” promotion where fans are being asked to pay thousands of dollars for the privilege of being his roadie for a day. Who is he and why does he matter to experiential marketing mavens? And could your radio station pull off something similar?
