Good
week for “Writing on the Wall.” I was pleased to be a guest on the “Man in the
Mirror” radio show with D’Shawn Wright and Peter J. Castaldo, heard on the
Versatility Radio network, and locally at WYRM 1110 in Norfolk. Here is the
link to the show:

I
had a great time. My last time in a radio studio was at WCBG (wcbg.wagner.edu), our little
10-watt station at Wagner College, where I did some DJ-ing in college. Lot different
then...10 watts meant that the sounds coming from the studio might have gotten off-campus if the wind blew right. On
Staten Island, the Fresh Kills dump was usually more dependable. But it was
fun, and a learning experience. In fact, my friend Chris Ryan and I got to
cover one half of a basketball game once. Chris went on to own Ryan’s Wake
(ryanswake.com), a thriving Irish establishment in Troy, NY. On the other hand,
I’m doing lots of things, but still chasing the games with the fervor that
other maniacs chase tornadoes!
Anyhow,
the topic of the day on the “Man in the Mirror” was fear. Why are we afraid to
pursue dreams? Lots of great points made last Thursday afternoon and the show
is worth a listen. I was humbled, as their previous guests have included the
mayors of Virginia Beach and Hampton, as well as business and religious leaders.
My own friends and family enjoyed tweaking me with the question...”what are YOU
going to talk about?” I’d like to think there were a few meaningful thoughts
included in my 15-minute segment.
Of course, my suggestion is to listen!
