While Sharaf Mowjood had always known that he was interested in film and media, he couldn't have guessed that he would be producing breaking news for the nation. Sharaf attended film school before studying at Columbia's Graduate School of Journalism, where his career started with a bang through a front-page story on the New York Times . After landing at NBC news, Sharaf produced for the Huffpost and is now with CBS Evening News. Listen to Sharaf's journey -- and for those interested in journalism, take him up on his very generous offer to extend feedback and advice (spoiler: he shares his email in the epi).
