I have a confession to make. For 25 years, I was a television reporter. And if you think about the stress on a TV reporter, it's insane. You're on deadline. The phone is ringing, and the TV station wants the piece. And I remember telling myself a false story. I told myself I was addicted to stress. I wouldn't want a regular job where there was no stress. I say that's a false story because now I'm the owner of a television network and a very successful PR firm, and I love having a stress-free life. Somebody who knows this very well is a good friend of mine, Julie Hutchinson, the CEO of Core Performance. She joins us from our Austin bureau.

These are those stories.
