How stories imbued with feeling, that show change, move him.
Why a pitch should include a measure of scholarship and be worth a journalist’s time.
Why genuine social media posts about the real ups and downs of business are the best way to amplify one’s voice effectively.
What inspired his successful podcast, “Take Away Only,” which kicked into high gear during the pandemic.
