This is so great, Erik! Thank you for sharing a bit about how your childhood helped shape who you have become, and how you used those experiences as rocket fuel. It was a joy to be a part of your KYCW/Seattle team. Your YES passion and enthusiasm were absolutely contagious. And you paid it forward... you said YES to me and Gene by giving us a few overnight shifts to see if we had enough chemistry to create a new show together... and that kickstarted our rewarding 8-market radio "YES" adventure. So, your positive energy created an incredibly positive ripple effect. Keep shining that bright light of yours!

E-Lo! I had a similar trajectory of saying YES to new opportunities, and I have no regrets. 9 markets in 8 states over a decent 30-year radio career. Thanks for being a part of my journey. Love reading this Substack!
