Episode 22: Karlene Chavis, Chief Meteorologist, CBS 8 San Diego

Karlene Chavis' parents must've been clairvoyant because when she was six years old, they told her she would be a meteorologist. They took her passion for earth science, the fact she played with dinosaurs instead of Barbies, and enjoyed the outdoors as signs that she was destined for greatness. Today, Karlene is the Chief Meteorologist for CBS 8 San Diego and the first black Chief Meteorologist in San Diego television history. On this high energy episode Karlene shares how she got to San Diego, talks about what it takes to report the weather, inspiring women in science, her favorite season, childhood celebrity crushes and why she is a self-described "Pumpkin Spice Latte Basic Bitch!"

Episode 21: Darren Nichols, Columnist, Detroit Free Press & Founder, DNick Media

Darren Nichols' resilience is special. He's been a journalist in Detroit, Michigan for three decades and in 2014 while working on the biggest story in Detroit history, he unexpectedly had a stroke. Darren was down, but not out. His determination and winner's attitude saw him put in six hour days during rehabilitation – not a common practice. That hard work, and lunch pail mentality means he's bounced back: started DNick Media, and today his opinions columns on the state of the Motor City grace the pages of the Detroit Free Press. Darren is Detroit's son, and everyone is happy he's here to tell the stories of his hometown, and his own!
