\\u201cThe stories you tell can change the world.\\u201d \\u2014Bianna Golodryga
Bianna Golodryga is a CBS News correspondent and a contributor at CNN. She\\u2019s the former weekend anchor of Good Morning America, and worked at Yahoo News alongside Katie Couric. Bianna was born in the former Soviet Union and moved to the United States with her parents \\u2014 and only $150 in their pockets \\u2014 when she was 18 months old. On this episode, Bianna talks about growing up Russian in Texas (her classmates called her a \\u201cCommie Spy,\\u201d and she was the only Jewish kid in her entire school), and talks about the decisions that motivated her to move to New York City to pursue a career in finance and, eventually, on television. Bianna has interviewed the world\\u2019s top personalities, politicians, and celebrities, from Katy Perry and Reese Witherspoon to Bill Clinton and Borat. (Right before she sat down to record this episode with me, Bianna was interviewing Oprah alongside Gayle King.) Bianna was also the first journalist to interview and talk to the father of the Boston Marathon bombers, and was actually the one to tell him that his sons were the ones behind the bombings. It\\u2019s one of many crazy stories Bianna \\u2014 who is also a mom, a step-mom, and, of course, a runner \\u2014 shares on this episode, which is a must-listen for anyone who wants to be involved in any aspect of the news or television industry.
