American broadcast journalist, political commentator and published author Alisyn Camerota joins me for Episode 334 of Life In The Stocks to discuss her memoir Combat Love, which is out now on Rare Bird Publishing - the same publication company that put out my two books, Life In The Stocks Volume One & Volume Two.

As well as her book, we also talk about growing up in New Jersey and discovering punk rock as a teenager, the formative experiences she had during that time, how working in hospitality prepared her for a career in live broadcasting, how she prepares for interviews with politicians and world leaders, the impact of social media on the news and how hard it is to discern the truth nowadays, and the ways in which the TV and media industry has evolved over time.

We also talk about going back and making peace with the past through the process of writing her book, healing old wounds, dealing with trauma and sexual assault, and finding true love and happiness with her husband. It's a great talk with a really lovely lady. I hope you find it as insightful and inspiring as I did.
