#160 The 60's, the grind, and the job with Tory Gates The Jar
-
- Documentary
We meet our next guest, Tory Gates, at our hotel in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, the capital city. Tory’s a seasoned creative artist. He’s a musician, an author, a radio host producer, and once upon a time an errand boy. As we settle in, Tory shares that he’s still on the journey of discovering who he is and what his role in the universe is. He's looking back on life, the good and bad choices, and how those affect who he is today. Tory is a northern Vermont fourth generation farm boy, a 60s kid with siblings from the 50s, and perhaps an oops baby. At 11 or 12 years old he was overcome with some anxiety and depression, as many young kids face. When he went off to college, he took the liberty of experiencing many options for work, and meeting plenty of people until one job caught his eye. A little a.m. radio station turning into FM, and he may not describe it like this, but it feels like radio found him. Tory shares the fantastic story of his journey from the little college station to the beginning of his career, the slow process, the grind, and then that magic door opening for him not because of luck, but because of his dedication. As he reflected on this, he noted that this was the first time he had created something. Join our conversation with Tory to hear the whole story, and how the jar helps him share his journey.
