Mentoring

February 12th, 2008

Yes, another one of those big “M” words. What would we all do without those we look up to, admire, respect and learn from? I know that for me, I would not be half as far as I am today. So, a big thank you to all those who I have the deepest of respect and gratitude for sharing your brilliance with me (Loretta, Jonathan, Kathy, Eric, Chuck, Devin, Lenny, Dazon and Robynn are just a few).

Today I am embarking on a new mentoring excursion. As I’ve mentioned before, I am a member of the Association of Independents in Radio (AIR) and as a member I am eligible for a set number of mentoring hours with a selected pro AIR member. I am really excited, and even a bit nervous, because I have been paired up with a local producer whose name I have heard many times on the radio as I have grown up here in the San Francisco Bay Area – Gregg McVicar. He’s got a really chill yet very tight style and has a largely varied musical taste and this is very much where I see myself moving (now I just have to get that “tightness” under my belt ). Anyway, who knows where this will lead but regardless if it lasts just the number of AIR-hours or if it leads to a little more, it’s really inspiring just to be able to sit down with someone who you respect and be able to ‘talk shop’ and ask questions.

Thank you AIR and thank you Gregg! I am looking forward to this day…
