Why "CAPitalize?"  And what does it mean?

On today's podcast, as we kick off Season 2, I want to focus on my personal history for a moment.  I'll give you my "back story," as they call it in the media biz, and how - and why - my life changed for the better just a few short years ago.

To capitalize means to take the advantage when it presents itself.   I struggled at an early age trying to figure out what my own personal strengths were.  Once they were made clear to me, though, I began to see just how much I could bring to the table - and I learned how to CAPitalize.

I'm Christopher A. Panagiotu, the CAP in CAPitalize; and this is where my story begins.
