Oregon Media Insiders

The kid wants to give NY a go, why not? Whoever said that his confidence exceeds his talent misses the point that in this industry, the former is much more important than the latter. Look at Ryan Secrest, who's making 19 million dollars a year, and with what talent? None at all, except for a radio jock's ability to smile it up and hit a post. The people I know in NY and LA are human manifestations of the law of attraction--even more than the law of attractiveness--and my own experience in "major" markets is that it's all about an ability to look past an even greater degree of dog crap than one puts up with here at Triple-A, where life is better and you can live abundantly by just finding the right spot and staying. Which is something you don't know when you're 18, or whatever you Austin is. Get a one-way ticket and go with God, there's always Greyhound coming back this way, but maybe you won't need it.
