    What the Heck Am I Doing On TV?

    I really do have an amazing job.  I go to the storied Waldorf Astoria everyday to talk to some of the smartest, famous, beautiful, interesting, hardworking, inspirational, challenging, powerful people in the world.

    And that's amazing.

    But it's also very stressful. I feel a lot of pressure.  Sometimes, more than others.

    And I did just see a commercial for our show on Fox Business -- not exactly a rare event, I know -- and it just struck me once again that I have to be on my A game and fully prepared for some of the smartest, famous, beautiful, interesting, hardworking, inspirational, challenging, powerful people in the world today.  And again tomorrow. And the next day.  I even just got invited to co-host a Milton Friedman event next week at the Waldorf.  Mighty dog, that's cool.  But mighty dog, that means more work and pressure and being on an A game for SMART people.
    I really do wonder sometimes, what the heck I'm doing in NYC and especially on TV.

The main reason you're successful and on TV Cody is because you're smart. You know your stuff. It's that simple. Keep up the good work.

it's good to hear that some people in TV land are still so down to earth. I really think America is craving some down home good ole boys that will tell it how it is.
