"It's never too late to have a life and it's never too late to change one."
That's something I tell students, friends, and family all the time. After living and working in New York City, I took my own advice in 2004, switched my career from the television/radio industry and got into public relations.
Now, I spend my days as a PR/social media marketing consultant and get inspired daily. It's been a good ride, so far. But the car has plenty of gas left. I hope you'll join along in this guy's journey!

Great Monday Minute installment and so true! I search for little nuggets of opportunity by being (trying to be) observant of the “little things” around me. When I was in college, I had attended an orientation thing and just happened to pick up a form off of a stack – it was from a financial aid seminar that I had not attended but as it turned out I qualified and got some great financial aid out of the deal. Now that I am approaching 50, I am torn between the conundrum of knowing some things in life require patience to unfold and the feeling that opportunities are slipping through my grasp. But you asked us to name an opportunity we have taken recently ….. thinking……thinking……thinking….. I suppose one is that I extended my experience of visiting Guatemala this past summer with Christian Foundation for Children and Aging by visiting churches as a volunteer to explain the program along with the visiting priest. I visited one church that did two Spanish masses. Although that challenged me greatly, it was a true opportunity in the sense that (as usual) people were only too happy to help and so patient with my rudimentary Spanish.
love this one! and so agree!
Thanks Nicole! Looking forward to opportunities this Thursday! 🙂
