MoxieTalk with Kirt Jacobs Episode #72: Bob Hill

Bob Hill's motivation to do the best he can at whatever he does culminated in a storied career that began with his decision to be a writer at age 25. During his time as a columnist at the Courier-Journal, Hill wrote over 4,000 articles. After over 30 years with the newspaper, Hill believed he "had said it all before". He left to write more long-form pieces and spend time with his family. Hill says his career decisions begin with what he does not want to do, then determines what he'd like to do. Hill still finds himself writing columns about everything from gardening and Louisville Slugger bats to bipolar illness and the history of Centre College. He is best known for his book "Double Jeopardy," based on a murderous true crime and the man who got away with it. Hill has co-hosted a Sunday radio show, discussing politics, sports, religion, and community issues. Now, in his retirement, He and his wife own a nursery and sculpture garden just outside of Louisville.
