As a child, Luke Russert would grab a mic and narrate his surroundings, a habit that was not surprising given his parents' profession. His early exposure to journalism, growing up on sets and around politics, laid the foundation for his future career. 
Luke joins Sophia to share his experience growing up in the world of journalism and the impact the loss of his dad, Tim Russert, had on him. He opens up about delivering a eulogy to a room full of presidents and senators, forging his own career path, dealing with comparisons to his father, and the surprising advice he received that made him decide to walk away from the world of news for a while.
He also talks about his journey of self-discovery and coming to terms with grief which led to his book, "Look for Me There: Grieving My Father, Finding Myself," available now.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
