Summary

On this special Father’s Day edition of Nobody Told Me, we repeat our conversation with Laura’s father, and Jan's husband, Ronn Owens, a legendary radio talk show host who is a member of the National Radio Hall of Fame. In addition to many other honors, Ronn received two Marconi Awards for being named Large Market Personality of the Year in 2003 and again in 2010. We talk to him about some of those “nobody told me” lessons that guys learn when they become fathers, the best advice he's given to his daughters, and what he learned from his dad.

0:00.0	Welcome to Nobody Told Me. I'm Jan Black. And I'm Laura Owens. Our show features two generations,
0:17.6	Laura, who's a millennial, and me, her mother, who's a seasoned adult. We've had a lot
0:23.2	of conversations with people who've shared with us their life lessons, and today we're talking
0:28.0	with a member of our own family who's learned a lot of lessons and created quite a legacy
0:32.2	along the way. I don't think I've ever been so excited for an interview and felt like there was
