She Said... He Said... Truflex Media Testimonials

"Larry Audas hired me right out of college and was one of the first to believe in me. He is trustworthy, smart and has incredible knowledge about news and journalism. He taught me how to write stories, have confidence while reporting live in the field and gave me opportunities to build my future in television. I truly believe God put Larry in my life to teach, mold and mentor me. I am forever grateful.”

"Larry's humble yet confident leadership style has helped dozens of journalists, marketing and sales professionals grow and excel in their careers. Larry is a true media professional, wise mentor, encouraging motivator, and loyal friend.

I wholeheartedly recommend the opportunity to partner with Larry and TruFlex Media!"

"Larry Audas knows how to spot talent and how to nurture and grow the spark within. He took a chance on me, hiring me as a producer right out of college. 20-something years later, as a newsroom leader, I still reach out for his advice and counsel. He taught me how to successfully navigate a newsroom and a boardroom. He showed me how to effectively get a talented team on the same page, and helped me discover the power of clarity – in writing and in speaking."

"From helping develop my anchoring and reporting skills for my first job - to landing an anchor position in a top 10 market - Larry has been there every step of the way as a mentor, coach and trusted advisor.  Larry’s ability to recognize your potential, and then cultivate your talent is absolutely unmatched. My career is where it is today because of his support and belief in me."

"Little did I know it at the time, but working with Larry gave me the foundation for my career as I moved from Greensboro, North Carolina to Tampa and then Philadelphia. Larry challenged me to look for and embrace opportunities to be bold and different when telling the weather story while also maintaining a necessary level of professionalism consumers deserve. His constant effort to push me out of my comfort zone landed me in a space where I approach telling any story with a critical mind, but a creative vision to go beyond the obvious headline."

"Larry knows all aspects of the TV news business in front of the camera as a former large market anchor/reporter, behind the scenes and running the entire operation as a longtime general manager. One of his many strengths is building relationships, connecting with others on all levels and negotiating deals with his effective style of communicating."

In every role and through every challenge, Larry has distinguished himself as someone who is decisive, skilled, and unwaveringly focused on results.

Beyond that, his keen eye for recognizing and cultivating talent elevates him from a strong leader to a game-changing leader. What sets Larry apart even further is his honesty, humility, and humanity. He understands that true communication means being flexible enough to meet people where they are, fostering trust, and leading with both clarity and empathy. Simply put, when you’re working with Larry, you’re working with the best."

"Larry is a TV news maestro with a unique background you don't often find - personal experience as an on-air journalist, news director, and TV station general manager. He was pivotal in the trajectory of my career often positioning me to thrive, whether it be through a more authentic approach to storytelling or a more urgent demand for accountability from people in power. Larry knows journalism, he knows talent, and he knows how to orchestrate a newsroom in a way that highlights people's strengths in an ever-evolving TV news industry."

"Trust. 5 letters with enormous meaning. You can trust Larry - professionally and personally. I have. And I still do. We worked together closely for 5 years in North Carolina. The working relationship became a friendship that has grown stronger in the years since and a cornerstone of that relationship is mutual trust. I know he has my best interest at heart because he’s proven that time after time. I don’t often find people to hold my confidence, but Larry… well, Larry is one of those rare men who is even better than his word. And his word is to be trusted."

"Larry Audas has a rare combination of experience that makes you want to lean in and listen when he speaks. His time as a reporter in the field, behind the anchor desk, and then in the sales and managerial boardrooms, gives him a unique, well-rounded and grounded perspective of the industry and what it takes to succeed in it."

"Larry helped me consider several areas where I lacked valuable knowledge. His guidance ultimately helped me negotiate a contract renewal that not only increased my salary but also promoted my professional growth. I'm grateful for Larry's integrity, wisdom and care with my on-air career and highly recommend him."

"Larry Audas is a journalism legend, known for his steady hand, resonant voice and innovative vision encompassing a storied career.

In 11 years working under Larry's guidance, I grew my career from a fresh-out-of-school multi-skilled journalist to an award-winning morning anchor. Under his mentorship, I never lost sight of the why in each story and newscast - public service through journalism. Anyone who chooses to work with Larry can expect a passionate coach and advocate who, would "never allow the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game."

"When I think of Larry, I think of a true news man who cares. He cares about people. He cares about truth. He cares about viewers. He cares about all the right things for all the right reasons. He is one who takes people under their wing and shows them what they otherwise could not see. Larry has been more than a mentor. He has been an example to follow."

“Larry has the unique ability to spot emerging talent.  He was one of the first executives I met early in my career, and the way he treated me – with professionalism and care – influenced what I thought was possible.”
