Kid Jensen: For The Record by David Jensen
Few of a generation do not recall listening to Radio Luxembourg 'under the bed clothes'. At a time when the station was huge, David 'Kid' Jensen was one of its best-known names, broadcasting to millions across Europe, showcasing music at a key moment of change. Transferring eventually to the BBC, he was part of a golden era for Radio 1. When the station was reaching peak audiences he was on board, working alongside the radio names who have become part of folklore such as John Peel and Kenny Everett, and appearing in person in front of thousands at the Radio 1 Roadshows and on television to millions on Top Of The Pops. David Jensen's encounters with the big names are incomparable: Michael Jackson teaching the moonwalk on the shag pile carpet; playing football at midnight on an airport runway with the Rolling Stones; an exclusive party at the Holiday Inn with a young Freddie Mercury; going on holiday with Paul McCartney. As a knowledgeable and high-profile music-loving radio presenter, the list is never-ending and in this book he tells of his impressions of the characters: who was fun, and who was more difficult. Two years ago, David revealed he'd been battling incurable Parkinson's, saying he'd delayed disclosing his illness to all but family and close friends for fear that "people might think less of me." This is the personal story ? with all its ups and downs ? of the Canadian who sold his motorbike and trumpet to venture to London to pursue his dream ? and achieved it.
David Jensen is an Author, Speaker, Consultant and Founder of The Hiring Academy. He began in the Human Resources industry as an executive headhunter, top performing recruiter and efficiency consultant. He then worked in the entertainment industry as a Talent & Literary agent before returning to his business expertise at UNlimited Inc. Consulting. There he blazed a path for small business owners by co-developing the BSA (Business Situation Analysis). This survey zeros-in on specific issues at a shockingly quick pace, usually within an hour! The results guide effective consulting to empower business owners to expand without becoming further overworked.
Jensen observed, after hundreds of clients, that the two most common problem-areas found were Marketing and Personnel. He recognized there were already a plethora of marketing experts but there was no Hiring Expert or codified, workable system for hiring the right people. Business owners consistently said I Hate Hiring! So he literally wrote the book on it, The Naked Interview: Hiring Without Regret. Concurrently he founded The Hiring Academy with the purpose of helping business owners and HR Executives simplify the hiring process. He delivers an abundance of content in seminars, the Hiring System materials and consulting.
Mr. Jensen sits on the Board of Directors for UMS Banking (Merchant Services) and is actively involved in several charitable organizations; including Rock for Human Rights and Project HOOD. He enjoyed coaching High School basketball for over a decade, winning multiple Championships, ESPN coverage and Coach of the Year honors. Born and raised in Boston, MA, he attended Northeastern University before moving to Los Angeles, CA where he still resides with his wife of twenty years and two sons.
