Aron Bender talks with CNN national correspondent Nick Valencia, who's from Eagle Rock and went to USC. This is where I usually list all the markets my guest has worked in prior to reaching his or her current position. NOPE! Nick didn't go that route. He started at CNN in Atlanta as a teleprompter operator, and worked his way up. Nick and I talk about how he handled his father's death two weeks before high school graduation, why he was scared of his mom growing up, discrimination he's faced, challenges he's overcome, and life as a new dad who travels 150 days a year.
