Transcript
Going national this is the Daily Note.
Speaker A:I'm James A.
Speaker A:Brown.
Speaker A:The best description of my career that I've ever heard was in a job interview.
Speaker A:The interviewer looked at my resume and called it adventurous.
Speaker A:I still laugh about it because, well, she was right.
Speaker A:And she doesn't know the half of it.
Speaker A:I've gone from fast food to cafeterias to flower shops to call centers to pizza delivery to nonprofits.
Speaker A:And I shouldn't leave out the pyramid scheme or the murder trial.
Speaker A:And I'm not joking about either.
Speaker A:I've been in and out of radio, in TV and newspapers and pr, and I've gone to speech writing and of course, podcasts.
Speaker A:My career alone, let alone my upbringing, will make a banging book someday.
Speaker A:I can't wait to write it.
Speaker A:It's not been easy, and as frustrating as things are at times, I'm not sure I'd want it any other way.
Speaker A:The strange and honestly wonderful thing about my career so far is that I've been hard headed enough to scrap and claw until a few of my dreams come true.
Speaker A:Like this one.
Speaker A:Starting on Labor Day, that's Monday, this podcast will become a syndicated radio show.
Speaker A:A handful of stations around America will air my musings daily.
Speaker A:Not much will change for you, but I'm tickled pink because I used to listen to syndicated radio all the time as a kid.
Speaker A:And now at 41, I'm managing to do another thing that James at 11 and at 21 thought he would.
Speaker A:In fact, those idealistic kids would say, it's about damn time, old man.
Speaker A:Where does this go?
Speaker A:I don't know.
Speaker A:I hope a lot more stations will pick me up.
Speaker A:I have learned one thing in this process.
Speaker A:Never bet against James Brown, even when the odds are long.
Speaker A:So thank you for your support.
Speaker A:It helps me keep going and I hope you'll be with me on the next leg of this journey.
Speaker A:On that note, I'm James A.
Speaker A:Brown and as always, be well.
