Ep10 - ARIEL HELWANI aka GOAT OF MMA REPORTING!
Main aim of this conversation was to show the real and authentic side of Ariel Helwani. I saw many interviews where people just want to take out a catchy headline but I was interested to know who Ariel Helwani is as a person, role of his family in keeping him relaxed and focused especially during challenging times and how can one develop themselves as a unique journalist, reporter, commentator etc. The kind of insight, honesty and professionalism I sensed while talking to him was worth respecting.
