In this gratitudeo, I express my gratitude to Frank DiLorenzo, a production artist and operations specialist at the NY Daily News. 

Frank was an invaluable resource and guide during my various stints at the Daily News, and he knew all about “kneeballistics”—a term you could interpret if you knew Frank. Most importantly, Frank was my insider, and this enabled me to thrive.

Takeaway: Find your insider, ally, or guide
