Katarina Schultz.
Sean Ryan.
Welcome to the show.
Thank you for having me.
Man, you are getting some amazing content down there with the cartels and reporting on all that stuff. So I can't remember how I found you. I think it was my producer, Jeremy.
I'm curious to know what it was that sparked your guys' interest.
Yeah, I think my producer found you. And so anyways, we've been tracking you probably for six months maybe.
Wow.
But love your work. Thank you. How do you get, before we get into the interview, how do you get that much access?
