This week I was hired to follow around John Walsh, the host of America’s Most Wanted and co-founder of TLO, a company that delivers a software to law enforcement agencies and private companies to track people who commit fraud. Having spent three days with John it was amazing to see how much of a stand up guy he was. He was hands down the most genuine celebrity I have worked with. He took the time to talk with everyone he took a photo with and I was impressed with how he was genuinely interested in other people’s stories and backgrounds. John was also surprisingly photogenic even after arriving from a 12 hour flight from Brazil.
If I have learned anything from working with John it is to always put on a smile and to take genuine interest into others, regardless of how tired I am. It will certainly pay dividends over time with the relationships built over time.
