15 | Todd Newton "The Host with the Most"

Dec 1, 2015

Todd Newton has made quite a splash in the entertainment industry!  From radio shows in New York, LA and St. Louis to hosting shows on The Game Show Network, he's become quite a familiar face over the last 20 years or so.  He's currently touring all over the US as the host of The Price is Right Live and he hosted the Miss America pageant earlier this year.

I was first introduced to Todd when he was known as Rik Idol, a top 40 radio dj here in St. Louis in the early 1990's on a station called Q106.5.  It's been amazing to watch how far he's taken his career and he's constantly evolving.  He's an incredibly talented guy and extremely inspiring.

We discuss how he made the jump from being a local personality to a national one, his career as a public speaker, his charity work and much more!  

Todd's website is www.toddnewtononline.com and his charity website is www.newtonfund4kids.org.  His blog is www.toddnewtonspeaks.blogspot.com and you can find him on twitter @ToddNewton
