Farah Nasser joins me on the podcast this month. We dive into so much, including her career journey as an award-winning Journalist, what it felt like when she reached the pinnacle of her career and the dangerous rise of misinformation.

We discuss her TEDx talk on The Power of Intellectual Humility and how it relates to today's news cycle and what's happening in Gaza.

Farah shares her devastating experience with the stillbirth of one of her twin sons and how she has learned to manage that ongoing grief.

We chat about so much!
