A look into broadcasting

Yea it's one in the morning and I've been drinking with my pals. So let's talk some finer points in life.

So I have made it very apparent that my goal in life is to be an influential sports anchor in America. Well my road right now is at CBS channel 4 in Miami and so far it's great. I'll walk you through the application process for any of you individuals who are looking to get ahead of the competition. Two main points before we begin: make sure you find someone who has connections, and make sure you're willing to ask questions to learn.

Ron Burgundy is the greatest anchor that ever lived.... PERIOD

This tale begins in February of 2012. I walked into the office in a suit, bow tie and all looking to make an impression. Also make sure you have a resume with something that draws attention, anything TV related. From those two facets, plus the former intern giving you a good wrap, got me the job.

From there, I've been working behind the scenes learning all there is to know about business and also learning some secrets to being more successful On-Air.

Now I don't know where this is going to get me in the future, but these relationships and lessons will help me for the future. So for any of you guys reading this and wondering to yourself, "I want to be a prominent anchor, but with everyone telling me it's hard to find why bother?" Please bother. Too many companies are trying to discourage people from trying to be on-air because it limits the potential applicants to a smaller number.

Sportscenter is the greatest thing to happen to sports coverage, but ESPN as a company attempts to eliminate as much competition as possible. From a business perspective it's smart, but do not be discouraged! Pursue your dream no matter what!

ESPN has made an appearance at the University of Miami before. And both times I've been in attendance and both times the head people tried to discourage people from applying for on-air positions. Don't be! Take on the challenge and you'll find your way to where you want to go.

Ok I'm done ranting. I hope you all learned something and take it to heart. 

"Don't let people determine what you can't do. You are the judge of what you and you alone are capable of. Embrace the challenge!!!"

Stay schemin friends.
