"I love what you have in your bio. You've reported from barbed wire surf scenes of Lebanon to the cradle of skiing's origins in China to Cuba. And so why the decision now to turn to local journalists? And do you still see the value in journalists reporting on a place that they aren't necessarily native to? These are great questions and ones that I've flipped over in my brain many, many times. Cause as you mentioned, I was out there doing it. I was traveling more than 180 days a year to pretty remote locations and remote communities. And in my mind, doing the best job I could. I was as objective and as educated as I could be going into those places. I still think I did those stories justice. But what I learned while I was out there was I had a lot of help. I was working with fixers, translators, other journalists, professors, sources in these areas. And after reporting all day, we would get together and share dinner. And I had asked them what they did when they weren't working on this kind of a story. And a whole lot of them were either educators or local storytellers. And that really stuck with me when I went home. And obviously I had a bit of a break with COVID. Traveling wasn't happening as much. And I started to realize, or just get interested in getting their perspectives on similar stories. And so this project started as me calling a lot of those people back. This is Long Lead."
