Insight On Business the News Hour

On Thanksgiving Day I asked my 17 year-old granddaughter, Jovie, to help me with some new studio recording gear. So we sat down for this conversation about all that she is involved with. From her work as a paid model to what she does with social media to her love for the AFROTC.  Not too shabby for a senior in high school. Frankly listening to her should give you great hope that the future is in good hands.  Meet Jovie... Thanks for listening!

It's the holiday week and we hope you had a great Thanksgiving Day event with friends and family. Something interesting about the Hebrew word for turkey which is hodu.  And, that word, hudo, also means being grateful and giving thanks.  Guess we now know why we have turkey on Thanksgiving.  Today is a much shortened broadcast but we do have a special guest.  My granddaughter Jovie joined me on Thanksgiving Day to test out some new recording gear and we spent some time talking about her work as a model, a commander in her high school ROTC program, her social media work and more.  Am I partial?  Of course but I think this conversation will instill in you some hope that the future is indeed bright.
