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.

When we last checked in with David Morris, president of QB Country, he was busy training his “bread and butter” client – middle and high school quarterbacks. Now in eleven cities, he’s now taken many of those young QBs into the college and pro levels and they’re staying close. Any any given moment in the offseason, David is training quarterbacks whose names you’d know and who are on the field on Saturdays and Sundays in the fall. He’s gained their and their family’s trust and they seek his counsel on NIL deals which has led him into beginning QB Reps. It’s an exciting business and David keeps a low profile in a high profile industry.

The NFL attracts elite athletes. Chancellor Moody and Timaje Porter think they have what it takes. Timaje is preparing for NFL Day where scouts will look him over. Chancellor is preparing to join a college football team where he expects his skills to shine. They both have lots of support in their corner, they’re doing the work to ready themselves for the tests they’ll soon get, and their attitudes point to success. And, for what it’s worth, they can now count on me being in their corner, too. But…it’s a long, narrow road ahead.
