AS A KID, FRIDAYS WERE MY FAVORITE DAY OF THE WEEK. NOT BECAUSE THE WEEKEND WAS COMING, BUT BECAUSE MY GRANDPA WOULD TURN ON THE TV, CHANGE THE CHANNEL TO CBS NEWS, AND WE'D WATCH ON THE ROAD WITH STEVE HARTMAN. I CAN REMEMBER HARTMAN THROWING A DART AT A MAP OF AMERICA AND THEN RANDOMLY PICKING SOMEONE TO INTERVIEW FROM THE LOCAL PHONE BOOK. FROM THE FIRST EPISODE, I UNDERSTOOD THAT AUTHENTIC STORYTELLING IS KEY.

​

 THE BIG LESSON I LEARNED? EVERYONE HAS A STORY, AND THAT STORY IS ALWAYS WORTH TELLING.
