In this bonus episode, 2021 Nobel Peace Prize laureate Maria Ressa talks about some of her greatest learnings, how she reacts to the criticisms and online hate against her, and gives advice on how to live a life with no regrets.

We also talk about the mental health toll of being female journalists under attack.

In her most personal interview yet, I speak to my mentor and friend, and one of the most famous journalists of our time.

Note: This interview was filmed in August 2025
