Finances! When my career began, money was tight, and I learned to live and shop on a budget. I’ve developed more expensive taste, but I still need to feel I’m getting a deal. I don’t like to spend frivolously.
What is the best piece of advice you’ve ever been given?
My music director at Mix 96.5 where I worked in 1991-1992 mentored me and said, “When you walk through those doors, you leave your problems behind you and focus on your craft.” Taught me how to keep my eye on the prize without distractions.
