Marty Smith of ESPN gave this Columbus, Georgia an awesome moment he will never forget and it’s an awesome, genuine feel-good moment!
TV reporter Jack Patterson was recording is stand-up reel for his CBS affiliate station but fumbled his words and was getting ready to re-start when Smith walked up to offer words of encouragement!
Smith shook Pattersn’s hand and let him know “the hardest part of our job is what you’re doing right now” and gave him some great advice.
It is so awesome to see people who are successful in their industry do what they can to help newcomers grow. We’ve all been there, we’ve all needed a Marty Smith!

As I recorded my standup for my LSU-Alabama wrap, @MartySmithESPN gave some advice & encouragement. I’m a big fan of his dating back to his NASCAR days, but this was next level. To quote him, “Be kind. Work hard. The rest takes care of itself.” Words to live by. Thank you man. ???? pic.twitter.com/niiE3rJtDW
