Listen now
Description
I met Jill Schlesinger at a conference years ago. We chatted back stage and got along. On my next trip to New York City she took me around the CBS Studios and and introduced me to some of the national personalities you would recognize on TV. She was interested, kind, nice, and generous when she didn't need to be. Her path to journalism is non-tradiitonal. She started as a financial planner and has landed with a national TV slot, two great finanical books, a national radio show and a very popular podcast. She and I chat about journalism today, how it's changed, and what she might do differently next time.
