Guest speaker: Brandon Goldner

On Monday we had our last guest speaker of the term.  As I walked into class I knew nothing about Brandon and I was wondering if I would be able to connect with him or if I would not be able to.

Well it did not take more than a few seconds to show me that I was interested which was a god thing.  I walk in and he hands me the current issue of Brass, and I think to myself I have seen this before in my house.  So that also helped me gain interest.  I turned to his cover story which was very well done.

The first most important thing I learned from him was you have to enjoy what your doing.  If you don't whats the point in doing it?  I took a lot of thought into that and its true.  If I'm not doing something I love, chances are I wont put my heart into it.

The next thing I learned was talk to anyone and everyone and network because you never know who or what can help you in the future.  I really like this advice because its true you must be well connected.

The last thing I learned from him was to know your subject really well and make the story your own.  I looked at all three of these things and said to myself I did all this with the volleyball team in the stories I post so I could really understand what he was talking about.

Brandon was a very good guest in class and had great information, the best thing was that he was from LBCC and doing what he loves.
