Sean Anthony Garvin a.k.a Sean Garvey

Hi Sean Anthony Garvin , thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
I got started in the radio business at 19 years old. I was listening to a late-night radio program and the show at the time was playing uncensored and underground Hip-Hop music. The sound caught my attention when I called into the radio station and told the disc jockey I wanted to be an intern and learn as much as I could about radio. Without any hesitation, the DJ told me to come through the following week and we can talk. Next thing I knew, I hopped on a Marta bus and I headed straight to the radio station two hours before his program started. I found myself inside this local community radio station in Atlanta called WRFG 89.3 FM where I volunteered for four years and I started building relationships with people within the Atlanta radio market to where I now have my own media production company specializing in radio, television, podcasts, film, and streaming.

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
The road to where I am today has come with plenty of struggles and challenges. One example has been getting paid very little for my production skills. There have been times when I felt I should’ve gotten compensated more money for the work I put into the profession. However, I did my best to stretch each dollar from pennies to pay for bills and other necessities to stay afloat while doing what I love to do. The other obstacle was dealing with the politics in the radio industry. I had to navigate and overcome people who underestimated me in getting the job done while also dealing with people who had big egos. One of the other struggles was my speech impairment. I would sometimes feel very discouraged if I wanted to end my time as a radio host due to mispronouncing a word on the radio or finding myself repeating the same thing over again. Those challenges helped me to realize I must acknowledge my strengths and weaknesses to survive in the radio broadcasting business.

Thanks – so what else should our readers know about Reach One Communications ?
Reach One Communications is a company I started more than 5 years ago that blossomed into its entity from a radio program I hosted and produced called The Beat Break Morning Show. Reach One Communications is a digital multi-media production company and the parent company of 20 radio stations, podcast networks, television, and streaming channels. My team and I specialize in providing various platforms for broadcasters, content creators, artists, actors, and filmmakers to house their talent for millions of audiences to stream worldwide. HONEY is our flagship station under Reach One Communications. The streaming app is available on ROKU and delivers a variety of programming for ages 21 and up, including its adult-only entertainment sub-channel known as Forbidden HONEY/Erotic Pay-Per-View. HONEY is also a channel for movies made by independent filmmakers looking to display their films for a wider audience. The livestream feature for HONEY is available on Fire TV under Reach One Network. The sister stations under Reach One Communications are Podcast FM 87, Reach One Network, Beat Break Radio, and The Therapy Channel to name a few. What sets me apart from other media moguls and other platforms is that I want to bring audiences a sense of nostalgia for how media used to be before the advancement of technology changed the way we consume entertainment. Whether you watch HONEY or listen to Podcast FM 87 on the radio, certain sounds and formats will remind people of the importance of media-driven content where you feel like you are a part of the show and not just the person being entertained. As a media mogul, I also see the future of digital media and where it’s headed. I am five steps ahead compared to others in terms of my business structure due to the fact of curating a platform where people don’t have to go to YouTube or somewhere else to be known or to monetize. They can do it all under Reach One Communications. I am most proud of my team which makes the brand stand out because they put the work in everything they do. I used to do all of the work myself before I developed a team. Now, my team has generated great customer service and the willingness to learn other skills within the company. We offer various packages to our clients to help with their podcast editing, social media marketing, and other services to grow their business. For more about our services, including radio and television airtime they can send my team an email to reachonecommunications@gmail.com.    

Any big plans?
Reach One Communication’s plans for the future are entering into the millions of households across the globe through television, streaming devices, and apps. We also plan to create more original series and films on HONEY and its subsidiaries. I plan to work towards making my company into a multi-million dollar or billion-dollar empire. One of the other plans is to hire people and provide them with an opportunity that can change their lives for the better. I want to leave a legacy for the next generation to have and preserve for many more decades to come.
