An Ode to Magazines

I absolutely love magazines. I adore going to the nearest bookstore and browsing the colorful combination of style, substance and creativity. I can’t get over “5 ways to be clutter-free” or “The top 7 budget-friendly vacation spots.” But it’s not just the words that grab me – it’s the covers and the pretty pictures. I [...]

Networking 101 (for the TV Biz)

If you don’t know the TV industry, you have options to get in: 1 -just dive in and hope someone will take pity on you and hold your hand or possibly, 2 - do your homework and network. My advice is number two. So where do you start? 1. LinkedIN - the new age networking tool for [...]

When Seeking a Job/Career – Consider This Question

When considering changing careers – or looking for a new gig, you should consider this question: What job or industry has a trade show that would be your version of “kid in a candy store” or heaven? I just returned from SHOT (Shooting, Hunting & Outdoor Trade) Show in Las Vegas where the average guest [...]

Write About What You Know – And If You Don’t Know? Ask.

I recently stumbled upon an article titled: “TV Gun Shows Go Mainstream in 2011.” I was intrigued, given my profession, what this article would entail. I figured it would be something about the gun-related shows popping up on “other” networks. And I was correct. But what inspired this post is the opening paragraph: “Whether it was [...]

What the heck am I doing?

I haven’t written in this blog since October – geesh. To say that I am busy is a good excuse, but I really struggle with this constant fear of “who gives a crap what I write about?” In my head, I write posts all the time. Some are witty and funny (to me anyway). And [...]

She pulled into her company’s parking lot and found a stall facing the entrance. She turned off the vehicle and instead of gathering her purse and lunch, she sat there in the cold. The clock read 7:57 She stared at the building entrance and watched her coworkers drudge through the snow to begin their day. [...]

Reaching Beyond Our Boundaries

I was researching “locavore” movement and stumbled across Jackson Lander’s blog, The Locavore Hunter. I met Jackson at OWAA’s conference in Utah in July and was impressed by his mix of political astuteness and outdoor sensibility. That, and he actually wrote a book Hunting Deer for Food for those foodies who are “okay” with harvesting [...]

Get Your Gameface On

I like this video by the folks at Heartland Bowhunter TV. I especially enjoy their videography. There are an increasing number of shows who are putting an emphasis on the editing and post-production. This certainly isn’t your “daddy’s” outdoor TV shows anymore. These guys are realizing that takes a nanosecond to lose someone’s attention. So [...]

The First Day at My New “Desk” Job

Due to my relocation “up north,” I’m working from home. It is a new experience for me as I’ve never done anything like this before. I’m already looking forward to saving 400 miles a week on my car (my the gas savings!!) And not to mention getting up a little later. However, I know I [...]
