Success can be the loneliest prison of all. Royce Blake's voice reached millions across America's biggest radio markets for 30 years. Phoenix. San Diego. Portland. Kansas City. Everywhere he went, audiences fell in love with his authenticity, his ability to connect, his gift for making strangers feel heard.
But here's what they never knew: He was living out of a U-Haul truck.
Every few years, another station would flip formats or get sold. "Guess what guys? We're going country" or "They don't need voices anymore." And Royce would pack up his life again, leaving behind favorite doctors, mechanics, restaurants - and the few people who were starting to know the man behind the microphone.
He belonged to what he calls "the U-Haul Million Milers Club" - constantly moving, constantly starting over, constantly performing connection while living in complete disconnection. The master of making others feel heard who could never stay anywhere long enough for anyone to truly hear him.
Discover how the man who taught America to listen learned that being successful and being seen are two completely different things. And why his greatest lesson isn't about communication - it's about finally stopping the performance and letting people see your pain.
