David Begnaud has spent more than two decades telling some of the biggest stories in America. As a former lead national correspondent for CBS News, he reported from the center of major breaking news events, earned the trust of viewers across the country, and now hosts The Person Who Believed in Me — where his first guest was Oprah Winfrey.
But what shaped the storyteller himself?
In this episode of Mostly Together, Nicole turns the questions back on David for a candid conversation about the experiences that made him who he is, the complicated relationship between our work and our identity, and what he’s learning in this next chapter of his life.
Along the way, two longtime journalists get into what actually makes someone open up, why listening may matter more than asking the perfect question, and why sometimes the most powerful follow-up is no question at all.
It’s a conversation about being seen, evolving, and figuring out who you are when the story starts to change.
