 For my second book, I've decided to read Resilient by Dr. Rick Hanson. I will be honest and say I'm a bit behind as I've actually just gotten the book, but I'm going to start reading it this weekend. The reason I chose this book is, honestly, because the title stood out to me. I interpreted it as a book on how to gain mental toughness, which I feel I do a good job of staying mentally strong but can always get better.

The problem I'm most concerned about is my age. I'm worried that news directors and hiring managers at the stations I'm applying to won't trust a young kid who doesn't have much professional experience and will instead opt for older, more traditional jo...
