World-class broadcaster Bob Costas opens up about his early successes, including landing the role as the face of NBC Sports by his mid 30s. Costas defines the marks of excellence for well-rounded, textured journalism and explains how he learned to work smarter (not harder) as a generalist. Later, he shares specific reasons for declining high-profile, lucrative opportunities, including a one-two punch with David Letterman, 60 Minutes, NBC’s Today Show and a $20 million per year offer to host a syndicated morning radio show packaged with a MSNBC presence (replacing Don Imus).
