The episode kicks off with host AK Lopez engaging in an intimate conversation with award-winning journalist Lisa Guerrero. Known for her fearless approach as the chief investigative correspondent for Inside Edition, Guerrero recently released her memoir titled “Warrior: My Path To Being Brave.”

Reflecting on her journey, Guerrero talks about her Chilean heritage, revealing, “I’m proud of my Latina heritage… But I lost my mother when I was 8, and also lost a huge component of my Latina heritage because I wasn’t raised around my culture. That’s why my book is called ‘Warrior,’ because Guerrero in Spanish means Warrior. My mother told me ‘You were born a warrior, and warriors are meant to fight.’ And years later I find myself fighting for justice for the victims of the crimes that I cover.”
