I’ve had the honor to meet many a strong independent women in my life, and this episode was no exception. I sat down with Hollie McKay, author of “Only Cry For The Living” who has spent years covering the war torn Iraq/Syria region of the Middle East at the height of the ISIS onslaught. It was both inspiring and gut wrenching all at the same time, and really gave me a perspective reset that is always powerful and necessary to appreciate what we have and where we live.Sponsored by @jockofuel, @projectwarpath, and @resiliencecbd.And a very special thanks to Veteran Wood Company for the incredible display - www.veteranwoodco.com.----------Table of Timestamps:0:00 - Intro12:00 - Morning Routine13:45 - Growing Up Australian27:15 - Coming to America33:00 - Thoughts on Unbiased Journalism40:30 - Becoming a War Correspondent51:00 - Living On the Road1:08:30 - Reporting on ISIS1:22:00 - Presidential Changes1:36:30 - Russian Influence1:43:30 - Crimea1:47:00 - President Hollie McKay1:59:00 - How to Fix Democracy2:15:30
