Guest Speakers 1/12/2010

This past Tuesday our class had guest speakers. Bryan Dawson, Valerie and Carl Blake were our guest speakers these people we in the media, and communication was a big part of their lives. The first guest speaker was Bryan Dawson who is a radio personality for K97.5, he also started a media company, Chase Media, that hosts and sponsors fashion shows and parties. He talked about how if you wanted to be anything in life that you need to work hard, he said that sometimes when your grades dont reflect you, your work ethic should. The next speakers were Valerie and Carl Blake they were in Sales and Marketing, and owned their own company called Artful Greetings. They both had history in media, Carl worked in radio for 25 years. One quote that really stuck in my mind that Valerie said was "Chance favors the prepared mind. All of the guest speakers stressed the importance of a good work ethic, they all stated that if you wanted a job, internship, etc. in mass comm especially that you would have to dedicate time and effort.
