The Forty-Second Wednesday of Twenty Twenty Four. Today, we get the opportunity to speak with a guest who truly knows what goes into the art of storytelling. From birth, journalism has been in her blood with the field having been a part of both her parents and grandparents lives. With a spark of inspiration striking you so early on, you truly do get a head start in diving in, and her career has been on go the very second that it was able to. Although born and raised in El Paso, she has had the opportunity to cover lifestyle and social issues on a grander and more rapid scale, which is where she credits so much of her insight and values stemming from. Returning with this experience has allowed her to not only become a bigger contributor to El Paso's The City Magazine, but has also given her new opportunities to pay the knowledge forward to the next generation of storytellers. In her words, print is not dead, and everyone has a seat at the table. And in this episode, we get to learn more about what that all truly means. What an honor to have this conversation happen. Ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, Live at the HQ... we welcome ERIN COULEHAN.
