Landing your dream gig isn’t about having it all figured out from day one. Terry Pluto, a true Cleveland icon, told Media Academy students that rejection and setbacks are just part of the journey—and sometimes, not getting what you want means you’re actually losing nothing. Pluto’s own path was full of twists, from failed football tryouts to finding his calling in writing. His message? Don’t let anyone else’s doubts shape your future. Trust your gut, stay open to new experiences, and remember: when opportunity knocks, don’t hesitate—just go for it. What’s the boldest leap you’ve ever taken? #Sports #Cleveland #TerryPluto
