How to be courageous with Nobel Peace Laureate Maria Ressa

This is Maria Ressa like you've never seen her before. In her most personal interview yet, I speak to my mentor and friend... who also happens to have won a Nobel Peace Prize in 2021. Maria talks about the most formative moments of her life, how she sticks to her values in a fragmented world, and what the Nobel meant to her. "The minute you become corrupt, you can't help it," she says. "You will follow a path. You will never be clean again, right?" On this assignment, we get up close and personal with one of the most famous journalists of our time.
