  • Bill Williams: Broadcasting Wisdom, Daily Humor, and Financial Insight Across the Decades /Ep 4013

About Bill Williams

Bill began his career in West Texas, supporting himself through Texas Tech University. While pursuing his BA and MA in broadcasting and journalism, he worked as a photographer and writer for the local newspaper. At the same time, he gained hands-on experience in the campus radio...

…and television stations.

Academic Leadership and Graduate Teaching

After graduation, Bill moved to the University of Texas at Austin, where he became the director of a four-city instructional television network and the university’s four-channel instructional television system. In addition, he taught graduate-level television courses while working toward a doctorate in mass communications.

Building Media Infrastructure in Ohio

Later on, Bill accepted a position at Bowling Green State University in Ohio, where he took on the role of Director of Instructional Television and Special Projects. This role gave him the opportunity to shape a brand-new television station for the university.

Expanding to Washington, D.C.

Eventually, Bill transitioned to Washington, D.C., where he founded his own communications consulting firm. His diverse client list included trade associations, corporations, and several major government agencies such as the Army, Navy, Postal Service, Departments of Transportation and Housing and Urban Development, the White House, and the Secret Service.

FEMA and National Leadership

During this time, Bill was selected to serve as FEMA’s first Director of News and Information—a position he accepted under a one-year contract when the agency was first formed. In this role, he handled communications during major national events such as the Three Mile Island crisis, the Mount St. Helens eruption, and the Cuban Refugee Boatlift.

Meanwhile, Bill was elected national president of the Independent Media Producers’ Association. As a registered lobbyist, he played a key role in advocating for and helping pass legislation that supported independent producers.

Teaching and Giving Back

In addition to his professional work, Bill was invited to teach Advanced Television News Production at the University of Maryland, a part-time role that allowed him to stay connected with academic development while mentoring students in the field.

Career Shift and Family Focus

After spending 20 years in Washington, Bill made a significant life decision. He transitioned to a career as a Registered Investment Advisor and moved back to Ohio, prioritizing a more stable and rooted life for his two young daughters. Having grown up in a military family and moved frequently—attending 14 different schools before graduating—Bill wanted to offer his children a stronger sense of community and lasting relationships.

Author of “20 Years of Internet Humor”

Today, Bill has combined his love for storytelling and humor into a new creative venture. He is the author of a book series titled “20 Years of Internet Humor … and Some Other Interesting Things”, inspired by his long-standing tradition of sending out a daily “Thought for the Day” email over the internet. The books celebrate everyday insights, humor, and human connection.
