Twitterview (2.0) with Elizabeth Ries

@JoelECarlsonHello everyone, and welcome to the Twitterview of @ElizabethRies. We’re doing our part to save her voice for TV and radio!

@ElizabethRiesHey @JoelECarlson!

Q – #1    To begin, @ElizabethRies was Twitterview #45, so it’s great to Tweet with her again. To start, how was your summer, any traveling?

A: Nice to be back with you! Summer was great! Lots of traveling to cabins up north, NYC and Vegas over Labor Day.

Q – #2    So kind of all over. What kind of traveler are you? Sit and relax by the pool/lake or the sightseer/explorer?

A: Both! But my favorite thing to do while traveling is try great restaurants. I plan around meals! Then I work out :)

Q – #3    Understood! Are there certain kinds or restaurants that you look for? What was one of the fancier restaurants?

A: I’m a big fan of Asian retaurants. In Vegas we went to Tao in the Venetian and everything was incredible!

Q – #4    Yum! Lets switch gears to your work. You’re at @TwinCities_Live & @MyTalk1071. Does scheduling get tricky 4 U?

A: Sometimes, yes! I’m usually running through the building 90 secs before I have to be on air. But that’s the fun of it!

Q – #5    :D  Now the @MyTalk1071 Dirt Alert gig is new since we last Twitterviewed. How has that experience been going for you?

A: I love it. It’s celeb news and gossip at 8:20, 1:20 and 5:20 weekdays. I love interacting with the @mytalk1071 hosts!

Radio is a fun change of pace from TV and it’s great to get to do both.

Q – #6    I heard today that you’re going to be doing some “fill-in” work on @MyTalk1071 next week. What’s the time slot?

A: That’s true! Mon-Wed next week I’m filling for Ian and Margery from 6-10 am.

Q – #7    Fun! Now you no doubt enjoy exploring MN as well. Any neat events, boutiques or restaurants you’ve seen recently?

A: of course! I bought a house in Mpls so I’ve been checking out spots in my new area. Birchwood cafe, Longfellow grill…

and I’ve been stopping by a little boutique called corazon on lake street and w river pkwy. Cute everything there!

Q – #8    It’s fun to explore and find new/interesting places in the TC’s! Looking ahead, any goals/plans for the next yr?

A: first priority: get a garbage disposal installed in my old house! My main work goal is to keep pushing myself…

I’m just trying to get better at what I do every day and appreciate the ride!

Q – #9    That sounds like a very good/balanced view! To end with, any tip or mantra you’d like to share with everyone?

A: probably similar to my last twitterview…instead of constantly looking for the next thing in life…

focus on making now the best it can be. I really believe that’s when the next great opportunity will find you!

I’ve worked on that a lot since I started at kstp and I’ve never been happier.

@JoelECarlson – Very good! It’s been a pleasure to Tweet w/you again @elizabethries. Enjoy the great weather and have a great weekend!

@ElizabethRies – thanks so much, it was great fun!
