Be Amazing
Growing up in middle class Toledo, Ohio in the 1980s career choices were somewhat limited to working in factories or in the medical field. I came from a very stable home as the oldest of six kids with two hard working parents that provided for us but didnt spoil us. Our parents gave us a private education grades 1 - 12 and my Father helped get me a summer job to pay for college at the local General Motors plant where he worked. In college I had two majors, one in Political Science and one in Communications. As part of my Communications major I got an internship at the local rock n roll radio station which resulted in becoming the morning show producer for the the well known morning show team of Karlson and McKenzie with that radio station. This story is about what happened from there. Its about dealing with the unpredictable changes that happen with your company and your career and what happens when they overlap. Its also a story about who and what can influence your decision to stay, or to leave.
