I sat down with longtime Minnesota media voice Jason DeRusha – WCCO Radio host, former TV anchor, and media personality – for a lively and candid conversation about his career, the state of journalism, and the messy line between authenticity and ego.
In this conversation we cover:
00:00 – The Jason Cam & innovating early in media
07:00 – Ego vs. arrogance: why Minnesotans hold themselves back
12:00 – Skyways, tourism, and why Minneapolis struggles with growth
20:00 – The origins of Good Question and what he learned from it
30:00 – Living with a public persona vs. being yourself
41:00 – Social media, sponsored content, and the authenticity trap
50:00 – The business of being a media personality
57:00 – The future of local news and digital creators
Jason shares stories about buying his own billboard, why ego isn’t a dirty word, and how Minnesota could better tell its own story to the world.
