Mario went from a production assistant to a featured writer where he really broke into his connections. Even after his success he decided to take a gamble on his career and start up his own podcast all by himself. When Mario told me this I gained a new respect for him and started to really look up to him as a person. That gamble eventually paid off because it resulted in CHGO a podcast and media industry that focuses on all Chicago sports attention. He risked a big part of his career and trusted in himself and that led to him Co-hosting on multiple CHGO podcasts. This leads into the last question I asked Mario, any advice he can give me on my career path? His answer was essentially if I love what I am doing I will be able to work hard enough to reach my goals. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Throughout the semester I have really enjoyed getting to know my Pen pal.
