Geoffrey Baer has been hosting programs for over a quarter century at WTTW. Host Anthony Landahl and Geoffrey talk about how these shows got started, from the Chicago boat tours to tours through the air. The conversation also includes how Geoffrey got interested in television from a young age, why he went back to school for his love of theater, and the significance of public media.
“No position is below me. I just want to learn from other people on set.”
“You got to do it for you, rather than for them.”
“Creativity is something that comes and goes, but you’re never going to get anything done if you don’t do the work, if you don’t take the time and do the work.”
“Basically, hustling like it is crazy! That is the one common denominator between the people who really make it (whatever their definition of it is) and everyone else. Beyond working hard. Saying yes to everything.”
The minute you start falling more in love with your product than the people receiving your product is the minute you start going backwards.”
“Is your heart happy? Are you happy? When you wake up in the morning, is there a little zest for life? Do you love what you do? Yes, work is hard, but do you love your work? To me, success is setting a goal, accomplishing a goal and being happy doing it. ”
