CNN’s Bill Weir on Reporting Around the World | Part 2

What does it really take to tell stories that matter?

In Part 2 of our conversation with Bill Weir — CNN Chief Climate Correspondent and award-winning journalist — we go deeper into the journey behind the headlines.

From starting out as a sports anchor covering the Bulls, Lakers, and major championships… to walking away and redefining his purpose after 9/11… Bill shares how curiosity, risk-taking, and storytelling shaped his path.

He opens up about:

* The moment he realized he wanted more than sports broadcasting

* Taking a leap into Hollywood — and why it didn’t last

* How he ended up anchoring Good Morning America

* The power of storytelling in shaping how we see the world

* Why climate reporting connects *every* part of our lives

* The people around the world quietly making a real impact

* And the honest truth: even he has dark days — and keeps going

This episode is about passion, purpose, and finding meaning in your work — even when the path isn’t clear.

🎙️ Whether you’re a storyteller, a student, or someone figuring it out as you go, this conversation will stick with you.
