Rafer Weigel: TV News Anchor and Reporter

The longest INBA interview ever! Rafer Weigel talks about a lot, revealing much professionally and personally: TV news and sports broadcasting, breaking the Jussie Smollett story and losing his job, mistakes he's made, egos in TV, mental health, what makes a good producer and storyteller, his famous sportscaster dad Tim Weigel, the importance of networking, pressure and competition, and much more! After Rafer graduated from University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign he became an actor in Hollywood, then worked in sports and news in Chicago at WFLD-TV, WLS-TV, and the Chicago Sun-Times; in Atlanta at CNN Headline News; St. Louis at KTVI-TV, KOVR TV in Sacramento, and currently works at KUSI-TV in San Diego. This incredible interview is from a livestream that Rafer did with Margaret Larkin.
