What does it take to overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles? Legendary radio personality Shelley Stewart shares stories and lessons he's gained over a decades-long career in broadcasting and advertising.

Shelley Stewart is the CEO of o2ideas, an advertising agency in Birmingham, and a legendary radio personality. His story is recounted in the book ‘Mattie C.'s Boy’ by Don Keith. Rising past a difficult childhood in Birmingham, he graduated from high school and joined the United States Air Force. When he returned to the segregated city in the early 1950s, he became “Shelley the Playboy” at a local radio station. During the civil rights spring of 1963, Stewart joined other black radio personalities in broadcasting coded messages to young demonstrators. In the late 1960s, he became a silent partner in the ad agency that later became o2ideas. Shelley retired from broadcasting in 2002.
