Tomorrow marks my 1 year anniversary working for CNN at Warner Bros. Discovery. The year has flown by, which I think is a good sign for a job. My last couple roles before this one didn’t work out as well. Every day of those years felt like work. Hard work! So it’s a nice change of pace to look up and go, Oh hey, I’ve been here a year.
That’s not to say we don’t work hard at CNN. We launched our CNN All Access subscription last year, doing it in record time for what that build out required. There were other major internal initiatives that my team directly contributed to, but it has been an enjoyable kind of hard work. I find it usually is when you’re working with people you respect and in a healthy environment. One thing I really love about media companies is that media companies prioritize humanity in work. That focus on people coupled with interesting software engineering is the secret to a great role for me.
CNN has certainly been all of that so far! I'm super excited to celebrate my 1 year anniversary. Hopefully it’s just the first of many anniversaries to come.
