In a summer filled with meetings with policymakers and visits to governmental institutions, one of the most inspiring sessions the students experienced was with FOX sportscaster James Brown.Mr. Brown, who is well-known for hosting the Sunday NFL broadcasts on FOX, told the students about his experience working with his panelists Terry Bradshaw, Howie Long and Jimmie Johnson. But he spent more time talking with the students about life lessons. Mr. Brown attended Harvard on a basketball scholarship. After failing to win a spot on a professional basketball team, he began a corporate career with IBM. Having a passion for sports and broadcasting, he worked his way up from local spot reporter to host of one of the most-watched shows in sports television and owner of a successful production company. He talked with the students about lessons he has learned along the way. The session took place after dinner at the home of Institute donors Michael and Harolyn Cardozo in Bethesda, Maryland.
