I love the sub-conscious.
Last night my brain took me back to Comedy Central Radio. When I woke up I wondered why. Then I realized the date – we launched Comedy Central Radio last year on May 13th.
A year later things are….different?….weird??? My position at SiriusXM was eliminated. The main guy on the Comedy Central side of the deal is no longer with CC. My former #2 who I had groomed to replace me had left the comedy department for a good opportunity…so he isn’t there. So a foundation built, but other folks having stewardship. I didn’t see that one coming.
As I dusted off the cob-webs I headed off to brush my teeth and looked at the long sleeve shirt I had slept in, the one I had pulled out of the drawer to play beach volleyball in on a cool night. It says NYC Marathon 2013.
That’s the marathon that didn’t happen because of Sandy. I was supposed to run that one.
I have another shirt. It says NYC Marathon 2014. That one I ran. I had to put my head down and train again, but everything was OK in the end.
So that’s my personal takeaway this morning. Head down, keep running.
Check out some of the work I did creating Comedy Central Radio and the rest of my portfolio.

I was happy to see that This Is Not Happening is making the leap from digital (web) to linear (TV). That was a show we partially incubated on CCR, and I think was part of the great possibilities of CCR.
