CBS News journalist David Begnaud has spent decades telling other people's stories. Now he's building something of his own. Begnaud joins the Parting Shot Podcast to talk about launching Do Good Crew, his new media company anchored by the podcast The Person Who Believed in Me, which has already featured Oprah Winfrey, Barry Diller and Ava DuVernay. He breaks down how he landed Oprah as his debut guest, what it took to get Barry Diller to say yes at a cocktail party and why he believes emotion is not the enemy of good journalism. It's an honest, wide-open conversation about storytelling, identity and what it means to finally do the work on your own terms.
