@MattParrino @Marcel_LJ Thoroughly enjoyed listening to your podcast of your career journey. I have a 14-year-old son who, especially during these distance-learning school days, is not giving it the old 110% effort. He is certainly not alone, but I expect better (1)

@MattParrino @Marcel_LJ I have been saying things like “you need to keep your edge”, “effort still matters” and even “the process” - all of which largely fell on deaf ears. When I told him about Marcel covering the boat racing event in rural Texas like it’s the Olympics (2)

@MattParrino @Marcel_LJ or when Matt said how hard he worked at a tiny newspaper to produce A+ stories & how future employers respected that kind of work, I think that I saw a slight glimmer in his eye. Maybe your stories hit him & may make an impact on the way (3)

@MattParrino @Marcel_LJ that he goes about his work in the future. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but hopefully he will latch on to your work ethics. Thank you. PS - Met both of you very briefly at training camp last year, hope to be able to say hello again this year (4)
