Clarissa Ward is CNN's Chief International Correspondent. She has spent nearly two decades reporting from front lines around the world, from Syria, Iraq, Iran, Lebanon, Afghanistan, and Yemen to Ukraine. She is the author of 'On All Fronts: The Education of a Journalist' and hosts the podcast series from CNN, Tug of War.

In this episode, we discuss Clarissa's reporting in Syria, what it means to be a human before a journalist, how to cope with the emotional impact of being a war correspondent, and more. Clarissa is an inspiration to millions of people around the globe, and I was honored to sit down with her for this episode. You can follow her on Twitter @ClarissaWard or Instagram @ClarissaWardCNN
