Today we’d like to introduce you to Charles Davis
Hi Charles, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
This journey began by being an independent artist and distributed my own CDs in Chicago,IL in 1999, while I was working as Director of Financial Aid at a private college. After some family issues, I relocated to Memphis, TN where I had plenty of my mom’s side of the family. While searching for a new position, I was contacted by someone from United Studios and thought I had been scheduled to meet about my music but it was a group interview about selling portraits in the grocery store. I wanted to leave but did not want to be rude so I waited and the interviewer are caught my attention by saying they would give me $250 guaranteed for training even though I had never sold any pictures before. I figured I would get the training pay and that would help me continue on until I landed a new job. That was in October of 2000 and I still sell pictures to this day. While working for the portrait studio I met my second wife, who also began working selling pictures at the grocery stores. We traveled all over tennessee, arkansas, and Mississippi setting appointments for families that have pictures taken. I was always told I had a voice for radio and my joke was a face for it too. I attempted to get in for years with no success. In 2017 I did a live on Facebook and had a very big response that story is a whole another story. I began promoting restaurants which has a whole another story but long story short I was pretty good at it. I began charging people and businesses to talk about it live on my page in 2018 and stop doing the pictures. My family and I traveled to the state of Washington where I promoted on social media and got into social media management. Work some temporary jobs to help pay the bills. In 2020 my wife decided she didn’t need me anymore and I returned to the south in West memphis. I continue social media management business and in 2021 began selling the pictures again but for a different company. In 2022 my social media management company had the biggest show put on for the year for my birthday. In 2023 I had my first premiere on satellite radio as a guest DJ. In 2024 I’ll be here working with my current radio station and looking forward to going towards television next.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Of course the biggest obstacle was covid related for most people but before that I had to deal with the franchise closing that I worked for for 18 years, relocating to the state of Washington and then going through a divorce and relocating back down south bumpy road for sure.
We’ve been impressed with CD Broadcasting , but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
I am the host and founder of CD broadcasting that began the journey in 2017.

Is there anyone you’d like to thank or give credit to?
I believe my network is my net worth therefore I am surrounded myself with a team that accents my weaknesses. I have a business coach, G money, a spiritual coach, the spiritual gangster, someone who loves on me through my faults, my fiance, Tamara. Also have some of the best children I could ask for supporting me. I’ve also met so many different business owners with like minds of supporting our businesses that have influenced me to continue to do what I do and reach out to them if I need any assistance.
