Live Video Inc: Pass It On

Pass It On

I've known Art since my days of Radio - Television broadcasting in Detroit. As a result of knowing Art, I have met countless professionals over the years; including "Shotgun Tom" Kelly. As a result of knowing both Art and "Shotgun Tom", I have met Anthony Pepper and Jim Hampton. In knowing Art Vuolo, "Shotgun Tom" and Anthony Pepper, I have met Norm and Brian Jacobovitz.

Thanks to John, I learned the importance of "Pass It On" many years before meeting each of these individuals. Let's call her Meg; Meg is an aspiring professional looking for the same kindness that I have been so blessed to receive over the years. Someone who is looking to others with more experience [someone who has been there, done that], to give her some experience, hope and guidance on what are the next important steps to take to achieve the goals she has envisioned for herself. In turn, as doors and directions open to her, she will also Pass It On, and so on.

My hope is that this message resonates for you in 2010 and beyond! If this touches one more person willing to extend a hand -- then the mission of Pass It On will still continue for a new generation.If you too are blessed to be the recipient of such a kindness, then Pass It On [karma will always take care of you, don't worry, give freely]! As Fleetwood Mac sang, "We Must Never Break The Chain"!

To the countless blessings I have and continue to receive from the likes of:

Bill, Keith, Jen, Art, John, Vanessa, Ilko, Kevin, Lori, SG Tom, Anthony, Tim, Guy, Chuck, Steve, Jim, Susan, Rosie, Ann, Pat, Joyce, Eric, Meg, Joe, Glenn, Rich, Lindsey, Huck, Carin, Cathy, Jazmin, Kate, Mark, Barb, Steve, Deborah, Michael, Gary, Terry, Brad, Ron, Frank, Sam, Ronnie, Bobbie, Shane, JC, Tom, Al, Kim, Leah, Karen, Irene, Bill, David, Denny, Andy, Kathleen, Sharon, Tim .....the list is so very long and would take reams to even begin my gratitude. Even through the most challenging of times [what doesn't kill us, hopefully will help us grow if we are open]; it is the blessings of others that can open the doors when we Pass It On, for it is in giving that we truly receive.

Pass It On

My hope is that anyone who reads this story, will truly get the message about looking beyond "me", or ones self, and will think more about the collective "us" and about sharing and giving whenever possible!!

AMEN! No one is truly an over night success, and NO ONE EVER DOES IT ALONE. Over the years I have truly worked with the best, thanks to others who have helped to open the doors!!

Thank You John Gehron

Thank you to John for the best lesson of my life. Over 20 years ago, I made a promise to John Gehron [then at WLS - ABC, Chicago]. It was a simple request John made:

"If I open the doors for you, when you spot talent, do the same for them!"

At the time, I did not realize the magnitude of that request. However, I have always kept that promise to the best of my ability. As a result, John in later years opened the door to my career at ABC, CBS & many other places. "Thank you John, for one of the best lessons of my life! Thank you God, for putting John in my life."

Wishing you the best,
