But it's been four days of preparation or researching, talking to coaches, talking to players, interviewing before I ever get on air for those two hours. The game itself, the speech itself, the cog is the reward. It's the preparation where you really dig in and grow the most.

Absolutely. Barbara Walters, for example, and her team. Careful preparation, and then the ability after that to be flexible. Because you can prepare and have all your questions and then you get an answer you don't expect and you want to just stay with your questions. I see that all the time with the ability to be flexible. Well, you can apply that to any profession, right?

Here's what you plan to do. Here's something that comes in that's different, some data, and you need to be flexible. in order to take your preparation and adjust to the current situation. Yes, I think it's both of those things. It's the preparation and then the flexibility within it.

For sure. The other thing is when something does not succeed, show that to your children as well. An example immediately comes to mind where I had been booked to be a play-by-play announcer for a series of games and I was waiting for my contract. And my contract didn't come and finally I asked the producer, hey, is there a problem? And they said, yes.

They said the general manager and head coach decided that He wanted somebody else. And I thought, well, I haven't even met him. You offered me the job. I cleared my schedule. You told me you were the person hiring and now somebody else. And I was so frustrated by that, John. I tend to cry when I'm frustrated. I don't hide it. That's just one of the ways I release it.

So I'm crying in my office afterwards, frustrated. And I decided I wasn't going to let that happen. I have no control over whether or not he hired me, but I did have control about being able to talk to him and say, here's who you're not hiring. And so I walked out of my office through the kitchen. My children were pretty small at the time. They see me upset.

And I said, never just let somebody deny you something without asking questions. And I went to the airport, bought a ticket at the counter, flew up to as a short flight, met this particular boss and said, Hey, I wanted to have a conversation. with you about that. And it was really important for me to show the kids that I was going to have that conversation with him. I did.

And he said, look, it's not personal. I said, of course it's personal. I'm a person. I just wanted you to know who you're not hiring. At the end of the meeting, he did hire me. He gave me a raise as a matter of fact, before I even started and I came back. And my kids got to see that. Those are my favorite moments.
