Linda Ellerbee, the award-winning journalist who pioneered the late-night news program "NBC News Overnight" and ABC's historical series "Our World" said she's been to nearly every Women's Conference.
"I believe this is possibly one of the smartest ideas that I have ever come across," said Ellerbee, 65, who in 1987 co-established Lucky Duck Productions, which produces television programs and sells them to networks. "Look, you get this many women together and you get them thinking and you get them talking and the next thing you know the world is changed."
Asked to give one piece of advice, Ellerbee, whose children's news show has earned three Peabody Awards and six Emmys, replied: "Do what you love."
"It's so much easier to succeed when you're doing what you love," she said.
