Ignore The Noise with Laura Coates
from Naked Sports with Cari Champion · host The Black Effect Podcast Network and iHeartPodcasts
This episode feels like a real check-in on what it takes to show up every day with purpose. Laura Coates walks Cari through her nonstop routine—up at 6 after getting home around 1:30 a.m., researching, doing CNN hits, writing fiction, parenting, then hosting her live 11 p.m. show. She explains why she left government work for TV: she felt “a muzzle” during officer-involved shootings. She wanted truth and justice to be accessible, saying “people had to know what the truth was” and “information… gives power.” She talks about being vulnerable on air, refusing to be performative, and protecting long-term trust: “I would never want… stating my opinion… to have a long-term consequence of no longer being a trusted source.” The only two opinions that Laura allows to lead are: “8-year-old Laura… and an 80-year-old Laura.” Connect @CariChampion @thelauracoates Subscribe Cari Champion's YOUTUBE ChannelSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
