Courage in the Face of Horror / War Correspondent Journalist Lara Logan

When you sit at home in the evening and watch horrific recountings of violence happening around the world, have you thought about who is doing the reporting? One must remember the brave souls risking their lives to shed light on these realities, in an effort to bring global awareness and balanced reporting to these issues. Lara Logan, an Emmy award winning television and radio journalist / war correspondent, has had a career that has brought her to the front lines of numerous civil wars in Africa, coup’s, Afghanistan, living in the Red Zone during the Iraq War and the uprisings in Egypt to name just a few. She has endured unspeakable assaults and witnessed deaths and destruction on many continents. Through all of these events she exudes the utmost resilience and teaches us to hold true to our principles, that everything has a price and that no one can take away the freedom that lives within you.

Warning The interview in this episode includes the recounting of violent events and may not be suitable for all audiences.

LESSONS Principles mean nothing if their just slogans Be consistent Kindness and respect are paramount Listen to what people say - inhale information Don’t take no for an answer When you are knocked down- get back up Everything has a price Stay true to yourself No one can give or take away your freedom - it’s within you
