“People who worked with me or knew me still called me the 'world's fastest human' because I almost never stopped. I'd found that I could get more done with no regular job or regular hours at all, but by being on my own, flying to speak here, help with a public relations campaign for some client there, tape my regular jazz radio show one morning at 5:00 a.m. before leaving on a plane for another city or another continent three hours later to preside over a major sporting event.” PeopleWorldHumansStillsDoneHelpingShowsJobsThreeFoundSpeakSportsHoursMy OwnCitiesMorningEventsMajorsRelationJazzLeavingAthleteRadioCampaignsFlyingPlanesTapeContinentsClientsPublic RelationsSporting Events Book:Jesse, a spiritual autobiography Source: Jesse, a spiritual autobiography
