Leslie Stone of Opportunist magazine interviewed Fox Business Network anchor Stuart Varney about his career in the latest issue.
Here is an excerpt:
Stuart Varney: I wouldn’t say there was any one individual. I liked what I was doing from day one as a radio reporter and then on TV, and I instinctively felt I could do it. Assembling facts, putting together stories that would be of interest—that was my inspiration to stay in the business and enjoy what I do for a living.
Opportunist: Where did you start your career?
Stuart Varney: In Hong Kong of all places. During my travels I was introduced to a man who ran Radio Hong Kong and he hired me to be a street reporter.
Opportunist: When did you come to America?
Stuart Varney: My American wife and I arrived in San Francisco in the early 1970s. I wanted to continue working in the radio market but was told that my English accent gave me no credibility. [Laughs] I saw an ad in the San Francisco Chronicle for an entry-level newscaster at KEMO-TV, a small station in the Bay Area. For 3½ years I hosted “Stock Market Today,” which was broadcast across North America.
