An extended AMA that traces a full radio career arc, from landing an internship to leaving a long-running morning show after more than a decade. Behind-the-scenes radio dynamics, unpaid internships, internal politics, corporate decisions, creative burnout, and what it actually takes to survive in broadcast media.
Stories move through quitting moments, pay cuts, contract disputes, canceled projects, viral podcast success, and how corporate media handles creators once things get complicated. Reflections on grief, mental health, ego, resentment, loyalty, and the quiet pressure of being publicly funny while privately exhausted. Also covered: industry favoritism, audience backlash, coworker conflicts, creative control, censorship, career pivots, marriage changing priorities, and the reality of choosing stability over identity. A raw look at ambition, disappointment, closure, and what comes after walking away from something that defined your adult life.
