People ask me how I got into podcasting and broadcast radio. Total fluke. Today, I'm sharing the ghastly story of getting my own daily morning talk radio show on 106.7 WSRT. It's not pretty.

There is much more to this story, more lessons than I share here and certainly more people who came to my aid and helped me to believe in myself.

Bottomline: Sometimes, awesome and incredible opportunities will just land in your lap. Ignore the fear and make the most of it. The alternative is to play it safe, say no and always wonder "What if?"
