Hi everyone, I'm Hillary Kerr and this is Second Life, a podcast spotlighting women who

have truly inspiring careers.

We're talking about their work journeys, what they've learned from the process of setting

aside their doubts or fears and what happens when they embark on their second life.

Today I am so thrilled to have a brilliant woman on the podcast with me, a woman who

is single handedly changing the way that I personally consume news.

Jessica Yellen, the former chief white house correspondent for CNN and the founder of

hashtag newsnotnoise, which offers her fresh perspective on daily news reports via Instagram.

She's an Emmy award-winning political journalist who has worked for MSNBC, ABC News, and CNN,

but since this is Second Life, you probably guess that's not what she's doing right now

and you'd be right.

In addition to taking her incredible reporting skills to social media, she's also an author

with her first novel Savage News coming out on April 9th.

She is so fascinating and I'm just delighted that she's here today.

Now on Second Life, it's Jessica Yellen.

Hi Jessica!

Hi!

So on this podcast we like to start at the beginning.

So let's go back and talk about what did you study in school and what did you think you

were going to be when you grew up?

So first thank you for having me on.

I'm a big fan and this is fun.
