No, I’m not joining the military. But I did get accepted into a super cool program at the University of Southern California for news entrepreneurs! It’s a one-week training camp for journalists who want to learn business skills.
Even got a shout out from LA Observed, the top blog for SoCal media and news, about being selected.
The program is in mid-May and I’ve already been given a homework assignment. These folks mean to work us hard!

BB that is wonderful. Congratulations. It’s funny how artist, writers, musicians have a tough time balancing art with business. One of my favorite quotes on this topic is:
“Asking an artist to talk about his work is like asking a plant to discuss horticulture. ”
Jean Cocteau
Good luck!
