Hands on with Katie Couric

Ryan Seacrest and Katie Couric

@RyanSeacrest: Who knew @katiecouric carried a gun?

During the interview, Katie talked about some advice from Ryan that’s included in her book of advice:

“There’s a mantra I’ve lived by throughout my entire career that I think is one of the keys to my success: say ‘yes’, accept the job, agree to that meeting, catch up over a cup of coffee and lend a helping hand. You never know what the future will bring, so always make the best use of the present. I often get teased for having so many jobs and such a busy schedule, but, truthfully, seizing each of these opportunities has led to many others. And remember, you can always say ‘no’ later … or so I’ve heard.”

Katie went on to talk about a friend’s daughter who’s just started as an intern. The girl’s mom advised her to do as Ryan does, and just say yes to everything. Ryan said when he was an intern at the radio station, they asked him to do some really ridiculous stuff. Which, of course, he did!
