“All we have to decide is how to use the time given us." - Gandalf (from LOTR: Fellowship of the Ring)
The one
thing about life is that there will be change – whether big or small. In this
case, it’s big and I want to share it with you.
"It's not personal, Sonny. It's strictly business." - Michael Corleone (from the movie The Godfather)
At the end of August, my contract with KUT ends. So, my time with them and the lovely city of
Austin comes to a close. I have enjoyed my time there and I am thankful to have worked with a group of amazing people. I wish them great success in
the future.
"You take the blue pill - the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill - you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes." - Morpheus (from the movie The Matrix)
One of the exciting and scary things about transition is which path to take. Do you continue down the one that is comfortable or do you try a new path full of unknowns. I chose the red pill. I will be moving to the field of executive recruitment with a
firm in San Antonio. I decided the time is right to try something new. It is an exciting
opportunity and I am looking forward to it.
Moving to San Antonio is coming back home. It will be nice to be closer to family, old friends and UTSA football games (Go 'Runners!).
"Hey, there ain't no word in Sioux for 'goodbye'." - Walter Crow Horse (from the movie Thunderheart)
The hard part of any position is changing the relationship with the colleagues in your former field. I will miss working with my public radio friends to tell the story of the
human condition. I have enjoyed learning this craft from some of the best. As Kevin Close states regularly that public radio is the last place for civil
discourse and this is even more true in today's world. I know that will continue to be the case as the best in business are in public media. I look forward to staying in touch with you through our connections in social media, the phone and of course, seeing each other in person.
I'll be listening and will see you online.
