Ronnie Blair Of Advantage Media On The Book That Changed His Life

An Interview With Jake Frankel

You don’t need to empty your notebook. Early in my career, I felt compelled to include in articles nearly every scrap of information I gathered.

Books have the power to shape, influence, and change our lives. Why is that so? What goes into a book that can shape lives? To address this we are interviewing people who can share a story about a book that changed their life, and why. As a part of our series, I had the pleasure of interviewing Ronnie Blair.

Ronnie Blair, the Lead Writer in public relations for Advantage Media and Forbes Books, is the author of the recently published memoir “Eisenhower Babies: Growing Up on Moonshots, Comic Books, and Black-and-White TV.” Prior to his current position, Blair worked for daily newspapers for more than 30 years. He has a bachelor’s degree in journalism from Morehead State University in Kentucky.

Thank you so much for doing this with us! Before we dig in, our readers would like to get to know you a bit more. Can you tell us a bit about your “backstory” and how you grew up?
