Get Lucky – Off Message 13 – Remembering an incident from my time at DCU, in media or any other business don’t ever underestimate the importance of luck. Likewise don’t over-estimate the role of your own talents and hard work.
Happy Anniversaries – Off Message 9 – There were quite a few varyingly significant personal anniversaries in the air back in 2014, including becoming Entertainments Officer in DCU. Some were more significant than others. All had a story to tell.
