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.

So I would talk to homeless people, but I realized like, wow, there's no news outlets that would actually run this. So I think that's where it kind of, dawned on me like I'm a square peg into a round hole or whatever that phrase is because the things that I wanted to cover not that murder and those things aren't important but

Most of the news coverage was just kind of like the shiny new stuff, not like the deeper systemic stuff. So that's where it kind of dawned on me. But unfortunately, there's very few outlets that exist where you could do that. Mainstream outlets. And I just worked for many of my early years, you know, kind of bopping around corporate media, then nonprofits, then online.

Um, I approached him after it was given a YouTube in New York and I kind of just told him everything I'm telling you. Like, I'm kind of like a F the echo chamber kind of person, but I'm stuck in the echo chamber. And, uh, here's what I want to cover. And here's what I think I could do.

And, um, you know, he told me like they, at some point wanted to try like having like a on the ground reporter, but the way he phrased it, that was like a far out objective, uh, And I must have said something right because a month later he called me and he's like, you want to cover the New Hampshire presidential debate tomorrow between Bernie and Hillary. This was in 2016.

I had a job at the time, but I just called in sick and went up to New Hampshire. I didn't really know like what cover it meant. But that's where it all started. I stayed outside while all the reporters are inside, like interviewing people. you know, campaign officials and this and that before the debate, I was outside in 10 degrees interviewing Bernie supporters and Hillary supporters.

And this one interview I did with a Vietnam vet, he started tearing up, talking about, you know, all the BS politicians he's, you know, been... flooded with his whole life. And Bernie was the first person that really was telling the truth. And it was kind of like, that's where it hit me. Like, this was not like a produced scripted interview on CNN.
