Realizing Your Writing Dreams – Brent Hershey from USA Today/BaseballHQ   Author and co-director of BaseballHQ.com, Brent Hershey, checks in to share how he moved from being a subscriber to eventually directing the website and co-authoring the best-selling Baseball Forecaster every year.   Brent started out in journalism, editing a medical recruitment magazine and a bi-monthly Christian rock music magazine. Thinking he wanted to be a professor, he attended seminary and graduate school with a focus on how Quaker religious beliefs about peacemaking affected relations with Native Americans from 1681-1757. But a move to the Philly area for his wife’s work left him wondering what as next for him vocationally.   So, Brent applied to be a writer for Ron Shandler’s BaseballHQ.com, but Ron rejected him. Brent tried again the next year and was accepted. He moved up the ranks at the website and a handful of years later Ron approached him to become co-director of the website, beginning his current journey with the leading fantasy baseball website. Even if you’re not a baseball fan, you’re going to love the insights that Brent shares about lessons learned and how he uses his seminary training in his work.   And, Brent offers 37 the Podcast listeners a discount to BaseballHQ.com for those who want to check it out or order the amazing Baseball Forecaster.
