Danielle shares her journey—from interning for a country radio station, reading the news and horoscopes, to becoming a reporter for a small TV station in VA, and on down the tangled highway to where she is now, working on Weather Channel.  Listen as Danielle talks about the good times, the bad, and the defining moment that gave her a new perspective on life.  Strength and courage help us get through the struggles if we just “stay true to ourselves and do the right thing.”

“I’m honored to have the chance to tell people not to give up.  I’ve worked with (and for) some pretty mean-spirited people in this business.  They tried to pull me down and, in the end, they didn’t.  I tell people to stay true to themselves and do the right thing.  Undermining and revenge only works in the movies.  Never burn your bridges….you never know who you will work with again in this business down the line.  In the end, I still believe hard work and patience pays off…although I’m still working on that patience thing!”  Wise words from our guest star, Danielle Banks.
