#636: Today, we're joined by Elizabeth Vargas, an Emmy Award-winning journalist who has traveled the world covering breaking news stories, reporting in-depth investigations, and conducting newsmaker interviews. We're sitting down with Elizabeth today to discuss her story and her memoir, 'Between Breaths,' which delves into her addiction journey. We discuss everything from what a productive conversation looks like and how to ask the right questions, to her struggle with alcoholism and how she hid it from TV cameras for over a decade. She also gives the audience tips on how to filter through misinformation and media bias to find factual information about current events.
