Last month, I finally met Sean Hannity, though the meeting was VERY brief. But, he spoke to about 125 students and faculty at The King's College, which is located inside the Empire State Building in NYC. And, I had a front-row seat for about an hour.
ISI sponsors a group at The King's College, called the "C.S. Lewis Society." They are a great bunch of students! One of their leaders, Elisha, has been an intern for Hannity for the past year and she was able to convince him to come speak at her school, free of charge. This is a guy that charges anywhere between $25,000 to $100,000 for speaking engagements. He has the second most popular talk radio show in the country, has won many awards, and is the co-host of "Hannity and Colmes" on FOX News (for those who have no idea). Because of my position with ISI and my great relationship with these students, they got me to meet Hannity and take a picture with him (i slightly got cut off, but all in all, not a bad looking photo op). Elisha, by the way, was just hired by Hannity for a full-time position as the Assistant Producer of his radio show, which broadcasts only blocks away from her school.
He gave a great talk at TKC on "Principled Leadership" and encouraged students to remain principled, whether it is politically, spiritually, or personally, because our society is lacking in principled leadership. He also encouraged them to "take risks" because he said this great country has so many opportunities, that even if you don't succeed with the risk you are taking, there are plenty of other opportunities to keep you going. But he said if you put your heart into something you are driven to do, and you take risks, you are bound to succeed.
