Some hope

Feb 13, 2008 16:10

Had a phone interview with this guy www.johnhusing.com. He was a pretty easy going guy, a real straight shooter. His career started to take off in the mid 1990's, which gives me some hope that it doesn't take a lifetime to get to super-star status ( Read more... )

I don't know why you're not blogging about your interview with John right now.

I mean... I guess you sorta are, but on your really real blog.

I am new to this whole thing and I don't know what is fair game and what isn't. I mean, I never asked him if I could include what he talked about in my blog and what if I mis-represent some things that he said?

I guess I could send him a draft and then see if he agrees, but that seems like a lot of work.

For this livejournal thing I maintain it is more of a diary of what is going on and an ongoing communication with a select group of people.

I don't really know what my intended audience is for my professional blog, I thought I did but it seems like it changes a bit. I don't think I have a following outside of my friends and relatives.

I think once I find a topic I will find my voice and then hopefully a readership.

How'd you get a phone interview with him?

I just emailed him and then he called me. It was a lot easier than I thought.

And you just asked him some basic questions? What was your motivation behind contacting him? To put yourself in front of him? Does he do what you'd like to ultimately end up doing someday? I think it's wonderful that you simply asked and he answered. I wish UC Irvine would be that straight forward with me...

At any rate, I'm curious as to your motives. And yes, I think you totally should take Keith's suggestion and write an essay for your blog, send it to Husing for his approval and post it. Your "actual" blog is attracting more attention than just that of family and friends, as evidenced by your Fresh & Easy post. Stay faithful to your momentum.

p.s. Do you have your own office?

I have 3 offices. 1 in ontario, 1 in diamond bar and 1 downtown LA. So I have 3 cubes ( ... )
