I look forward to your Weekend Briefing each Saturday because it always exposes me to something I didn’t know.

As a reporter for 30+ years, I had the privilege of asking questions as a vocation and getting paid to find answers. Journalism indulged my chronic curiosity and allowed me to explore the world revealing hidden truths. I embrace curiosity as a lust for learning.

Now that we live in a time of “alternative facts” it’s vital to cultivate critical thinking skills and search for trusted sources of truth. I still carry a notebook and experience the joy, awe, and gratitude of all the information available at our fingertips by asking questions.
