We caught up with Bardo as he was headed from his home in Chicago to Champaign, where this weekend he was asked to address graduates from Illinois' School of Media.
Q: So, Stephen, what's the message of your commencement address?
A: Two things. One, join the Bardo alumni association as soon as possible because they are entering the toughest job market we've ever seen, probably the most competitive, and with the highest unemployment rate in 25 years. They'll need all the contacts they can get.
Two, I ask them to develop a thick skin, find their passion and work hard.
