The Power of Empowerment

I think one of the things that was appealing about you as a presence on air is that it never seemed like you were pandering in any way or putting on an effervescence that wasn't there. To the contrary, you seemed no nonsense, real, even stern at times if needed. You didn't put on any fake personalities. Was there a push and pull at the beginning when you were on air? It'd be a little cheerier. Give us a little more energy. That kind of thing. I'll agree with you in something I was always saying, more energy. So pretty soon you sound like a weatherman. But I wasn't very good at that."
