Alfonsi's second piece of advice was counterintuitive: never settle into comfort, even when — especially when — you've achieved something you're proud of. She described being offered anchor positions in local news that would have meant more money, more prestige, and her face on a bus. But she knew that anchoring would take her off the streets and away from the reporting she loved. She passed up every offer, to the bewilderment of her bosses. Even after landing her dream job at '60 Minutes Sports,' she refused to relax, knowing that working down the hall from legends like Scott Pelley and Lesley Stahl meant she was probably 'the admissions mistake.' The admission wasn't false modesty — it was a strategy. Comfort, she argued, was the enemy of growth.
