Filled with information we don't get on the nightly news shows. Lisa could teach journalists how to interview without yelling and interrupting and not allowing answers from guests. She's a breath of fresh air. Smart, calm, great questions, and this segment was very interesting.

IT seems that she is reading my mind, such relevant topics, seems like they are timely and all connected to what I am currently addressing at work or in my social circles. Divine intervention? :OR just a super smart journalist. A bit of both perhaps. Thank you Lisa Ling, I am a fan and I would love to chat with you!
