Benjamin Watson sits down with journalist, TV host, and bestselling author Brooke Baldwin (Netflix’s The Trust; author of Huddle) for a candid conversation about justice, empathy, and truth. Brooke revisits their first on-air meeting during Ferguson in 2014 and sets the record straight on a viral “cut-off” moment. She shares how major stories, from Parkland to George Floyd, reshaped her, why media lost public trust, and how compassion can bridge today’s divides. Brooke also opens up about corporate power dynamics, advocating for women, and rediscovering identity after leaving CNN. Brooke and Benjamin discuss how to mentor across differences, listen without interrupting, and lead with dignity. “The just life,” Brooke says, “means living in the light with truth and integrity.”
