Jenny received her Masters in Journalism from Columbia and was hired by The Star Ledger (2007 – 2013). She was then hired by Peter King and The MMQB (Sports Illustrated) in 2013.

Episode 012: How To Become A Master Negotiator With Dr. John Lowry Lees meer
John and I met almost 10 years ago while I attended one of his negotiation training classes. Like most people, I struggle to sit in a room and listen to someone present for 2 days. In the case of John’s training, that was NOT the case. It still is the greatest training course I’ve ever attended. So much so that I have attended it 5 more times since then. This conversation took off from there and it was so much fun. John has become a friend of mine and I’m very fortunate to be able to speak with him on a regular basis about all parts of leadership and life.
