You have to really stick with it, which is not always the most fruitful in terms of, uh, revenue or building your profile. But in my experience, when the reporting on things like Flint actually breaks through and reaches people, the general response is, why are you the only one covering this? Why haven't I heard about this in mainstream media? So it's been rewarding that way.

Yeah, honestly, I didn't realize when I was younger. I kind of grew up normal. I was actually in special ed for a learning disability. So I kind of always felt a little different, I guess you could say. Even when I switched to like mainstream class, a normal size, they still pulled me out of class to go to like speech class or OT.

So that, you know, I didn't have a bad childhood, but sometimes that was a little stigmatizing. It was kind of hard to make friends. So I guess I always felt a bit like an outsider, had those challenges. And then, I don't know, this is cheesy, but I watched Shawshank Redemption for the first time.

And I don't know, I got glued just to that story and the injustice of it all and the different layers of corruption. And I ended up watching it many different times just to see if there was something I missed, I guess. Yeah. And then in college, I just was looking for an internship. I just stumbled into an internship at the local Fox station.

I worked on the assignment desk, which is kind of like the air traffic control. It's where all the police sirens are going off and all this. That's where you kind of at local station. That's where you kind of decide like what stories to send reporters out on. And, you know, it was exciting.

But at the other on the other end, I just kind of felt like it was like, yeah, we're just kind of covering like if it bleeds, it leads and like the murders and the worst of the worst. But we're not actually covering anything of deep substance. You know, we're not kind of covering economic issues. We're not covering local corruption.

And then, you know, talking to different people at the station, well, yeah, you know, you can only go so far because of advertisers and legal. So I think that's when it kind of hit me, like, I like the news industry, but I, again, in college, I went to school in Tampa, which had a big homelessness problem.
