What Egypt Sherrod And Mike Jackson's Jobs Were Before HGTV

Before she took on HGTV, Egypt Sherrod made a name for herself as a radio host. Surprisingly, she was never even supposed to be a radio host. However, after being hired as a receptionist at the station, producers found her intriguing. She explained to HGTV (via House Beautiful), "So back then, if someone had a call, you had to go over the intercom and say, 'You have a call parked on 101.' I would just sort of have fun with that, and everyone at the station would laugh." Her outgoing personality caught the eye of some of the radio show's producers. She said, "So the production director of the radio station, I guess he saw something in me. He said, 'I think you're ready to audition for a radio slot.'"

Sherrod started her career in radio at 18 years old, and even back then, she was interested in property. She told VIBE, "So I was earning enough to start thinking about how I was going to make my money work for me. While everyone else was buying pocketbooks and shoes, I was buying properties." She flipped her first property not long after its purchase and realized she could make a good living flipping houses. She had a knack for dealing with properties, but she never thought it would lead to what she does now. Sherrod was in the radio business for 20 years before eventually transitioning to real estate, which led her to HGTV.
