Here’s something a little different: I had an interview — and I wasn’t the one asking the questions.
I was delighted to join Gerry Keenan, the president of the N.J. Alliance for Action, to discuss BINJE (and a whole lot of other material) on the ‘Under Construction’ podcast. (Click here to watch)
Among subjects discussed:
- The impact that the construction industry and union labor has on building New Jersey, but more than that – working as an economic development driver for the state (2:30);
- The launch of BINJE and my career in journalism, including my many years at The Star-Ledger (10:10);
- A salute to BINJE Managing Editor Lindner (13:20);
- My time as a server in the restaurant industry. How it helped me overcome shyness – and why I never wrote down orders (15:10)
- A salute to my wife, the true hero behind the raising of our five kids (19:10)
- The challenges of neurodiversity hiring – and why it is so important to society. (23:00)
- Why BINJE covers South Jersey and underserved communities (26:10)
It was a fun time; thanks to Gerry and the entire Alliance team, with a tip of the hat to producer Elena Laughton for running the show.
