I met Lois when I was the GM of a Mazda store. Lois was working for David Lewis Training at that time. Lois has always provided guidance,advice, and helped me in many aspects of my duties during my General Manager roles. Lois is a hard worker showing loyalty, dedication and a no quit attudie.

Paul Reilly
Having worked with Lois Burak for over a year and personally known her for two years I can attest to the following.
1. Complete dedication to the job at hand, while also maintaining big pictures goals for the company and clients.
2. Motivated to learn what’s new not only in the current sector or industry, but also what’s new in other sectors. Keeping abreast of the business world in general to bring in fresh ideas.
3. Lois is not concerned about the quantity of time put in a job or mission rather she brings the attitude of what quality am I bringing with time parameters.
Lois is a team player. Under many situations where a presenter was needed or a PowerPoint design was asked, Lois jumped in and or volunteered to get the mission done. What quite often may be the hardest thing is taking what a company thinks is the best “thing” available and presenting it to a customer, Lois is a listen first to the needs of a customer and end user. Then she demonstrates how a said product, idea or service is best for them. Essentially getting them to think this is their idea to want the product.
Through my years in the military, automotive industry or product training industry, I’ve met very few people who have a work ethic, cheery, can-do attitude that permeates and fills a room.
Lois Burak will be a great addition to your team and work environment.

Erik Terrell
Lois Burak is a miracle worker with her gift of radio programming, production, management, and hosting. On April 12, 2017, I premiered the sixth season of my show, The Erik Terrell Show, on The LOLO Network. It was an unforgettable experience. Not only did she help manage my show by stepping in quickly when my Special Guest cancelled and booking me a very experienced, very prominent, very astute and articulate replacement Special Guest in Navy veteran and former candidate for US Congress, James Jones, but she provided me with a very personable cohost who brought yet another Special Guest along herself. Lois does all these things without them being asked of her. She just identified a possible need and meets it with perfection. She sees a hole and fills it. She notices the gaps, and she closes them. She makes it happen before you’re aware of these holes and gaps yourself.
Lois worked the board for me during my show, and she trained me on the board. Her radio station is the cleanest and most hospitable I’ve seen. She did all behind-the-scenes functions necessary: ensuring that the show went live over the air, recording it for the files, etc. Lois even took the lead in promoting my show, which I’m already very good at doing myself. Her help made my experience at her radio station a great one. I can’t wait to continue hosting on The LOLO Network. I encourage any host that takes radio seriously to consider hosting on The LOLO Network. She’s a great leader. She won’t accept slackers. If you’re willing to give your best effort and help yourself, she’ll be willing to help you.
I’ve hosted at 88.1 WHOV FM in Virginia and worked with Patty Jackson, Frankie Darcell, Cosmic Kev, and Loraine Ballard-Morrill on 98.9 WUSL FM Philadelphia and 105.3 WDAS FM Philadelphia at iHeartRadio. Lois Burak and The LOLO Network, is just as elite and highly functional as any of them or any other radio station anywhere.

To Whom It May Concern:
I am an attorney who has practiced law in Pennsylvania for the past 32 years. I first met Lois Burak nearly 30 years ago; I think Lois was still a teenager. When she opened her salon business in the mid-1980s, I had the pleasure of representing her salon during several phases of its growth and development under Lois’ leadership. What began as a modest shop in the Mayfair section of Philadelphia transformed into a dynamic, cutting-edge business that was recognized as one of the most innovative, customer-oriented businesses in her industry. I was happy and proud that Lois received recognition for her work from the media, her peers, and perhaps most importantly, from her community, for the excellence and innovation that she demanded of herself and from her staff.
What sets Lois apart as an individual is her willingness to combine innovative, fresh ideas with a level of dedication and enthusiasm for her initiatives. She is someone who enjoys being with people, and people naturally gravitate to her. She is creative, detail-oriented, industrious, and willing to take risks. I have always found her to be friendly, yet authentic, with people, myself included. In short, I have no doubt that Lois will excel in any endeavor that she sets her heart and mind to accomplishing.
I do not know precisely which challenges Lois will choose to pursue in the future, but her entrepreneurial spirit, her natural exuberance and her commitment to making a difference with people will no doubt continue to distinguish her as someone who performs at a very high level. I wish her well, and recommend her without reservation.

I was extremely impressed with Lois’s enthusiasm and outgoing ways. She helped us put on a fundraiser for our breast cancer vaccine research at the spa Beautyworx in Philadelphia. The way she even stopped cars on the street and got everybody motivated to get into the spirit of the cause was extraordinary. It was exciting to see the way she organized the whole event.
Thank you so much.
