Tim Larson Dingus brings a lifetime of storytelling, media experience, and entrepreneurial insight to every audience he meets.

Tim spent a decade in radio, with much of that time at WROK in Rockford, Illinois, where he was both an on-air personality and Promotions Director. His work in promotional partnerships sparked an entrepreneurial tour that led he and his wife to launch Skyward Promotions, a successful imprinted promotional products advertising business they owned and operated for 30 years.

After being diagnosed with leukemia and selling the business, Tim embraced a series of new creative chapters.  He became the author of three books, songwriter, professional photographer and podcast host. His podcasts are heard in all fifty states and eighty-four countries reaching audiences through engaging conversations and meaningful connections. Tim currently hosts the podcast Storytellers Studio solo and the Lifes3x5s podcast with Liz Wylder formerly of 97ZOK radio.  Unscripted conversations capture the experiences, humor, and wisdom of people from all walks of life around the world.

Throughout his career, Tim has interviewed and shared the stage with notable figures in music and broadcasting, including Barbara Mandrell, Louise Mandrell, Ronnie Milsap, Charley Pride, Bill Cody, Abbie Thomas, and Chicago radio legends Fred Winston and John Landecker.  He also announced major entertainment acts appearing at the MetroCentre in Rockford like The Beach Boys.

Today, Tim believes that noticing a light under a door at the end of a dark hall is just the beginning.  A life-changing opportunity just might be on the other side if you’re willing to try the knob, open it a tad and ask a basic question.  The most they’ll say is no, but the possibilities are endless if they say “sure” without much nudging.   He prides himself in connecting the dots, that may be separated by decades, in order to make the next project possible.
