Warrior: My Path to Being Brave

Product Information

I think what she’s doing is wrong and I think that her motivations are not pure,’’ Tafoya said on her “Sideline Sanity” podcast. “It’s a tough business and it’s what she signed up for. You either cut it or you can’t. I contend she wasn’t tough enough.” If you’ve forgotten Guerrero’s ignominious debut on “Monday Night Football,’’ on Sept. 4, 2003, she is here with precise and vivid details. Because as she set out to write this book, she dusted off the videos of the worst year of her professional life, took a deep breath and pressed play.

Warrior by Lisa Guerrero | Hachette Book Group

This is a mixed bag. Some very interesting stories combined with the author's skimming over important life details, then spending too much time complaining about the consequences she suffered from making very bad decisions. It makes for a quirky, entertaining and worthwhile book, but it doesn't have the kind of impact Lisa Guerrero wants and detracts from any credibility she thinks she has as a so-called "investigative journalist." Fast forward a few years, and Guerrero has achieved phenomenal success as Inside Edition’s Chief Investigative Correspondent. Her stories have led to arrests, changed federal legislation and policies at Fortune 500 companies, and helped shine a light on crime, scams, child abuse, and even cold case murders. And in the last decade alone, she has won over thirty-five national journalism honors and awards. He told me what I already knew. “You have nothing to go on. There’s no one to interview. There’s no one to confront. The suspects have disappeared. There are no leads. This case is cold. What could we do that law enforcement couldn’t?”

Her pregame scenarios tend to also include the possibility that the interview subject might simply make a break for it. It began two years earlier when I received a message on Facebook from Monica Hall, Juliette’s aunt. She’d grown frustrated with the incompetent police investigation of her niece’s death and had reached out to the media for help. But her pleas to the networks, the cable news stations, and television personalities such as Dr. Phil and Nancy Grace had gone unanswered. It had been four years since Juliette had died, and I was her last resort. She begged me to look into it.

Reinhart, Mark S. (July 31, 2013). The Batman Filmography, 2d ed. McFarland. p.123. ISBN 9780786468911. I liked the book most when Guerrero was detailing her experiences working for the Falcons and then the Patriots. I also was eager to hear how she'd describe her experience on Monday Night Football. And I certainly felt for her when she talked about some of the big, hard things happening in her personal life. Guerrero also explained that her book touches on a lot of topics she hadn’t really gone in-depth on before. In particular, she takes on the misogyny, verbal abuse, and sexism that she endured being a woman in what was always traditionally known as ‘a man’s profession.’ During it all, she continued to move forward.

But over time? If you do one, small brave thing every single day. Then when the time comes when you really need to be brave whether there’s a conflict, or a challenge, or a catastrophe? You will be able to overcome that challenge because you’ve already practiced being brave, every single day.” He paused for a long time. He stuttered and stammered. “That’s true, and we have evidence that they were there, but none of them are talking.”

As a woman trying to navigate my own career, reading about Lisa Guerrero's tenacity and grit as she strived and worked tirelessly to make a name for herself was absolutely inspiring. Her story is compelling, impactful, and most importantly influential. Guerrero writes of her life and career in cheerleading, modeling, acting and finally journalism, specific parts of her life that not only defined her as a warrior but teaches her readers how to stand tall, have confidence, and how to handle the curveballs that are thrown at you. Her stories about Best Damn Sports Show Period and her year being a sideline reporter for MNF were so infuriating, often making me angry on her behalf; but in the end it was incredibly inspirational to read how Guerrero strengthened her bravery, found her voice again, and forged her own way through journalism to be a trailblazer for the many women behind her. Her words of bravery and encouragement resonated with me and will surely motivate all of her readers to lead with an empathetic heart and an overprepared mind.

The ensuing interview was scheduled for 20 minutes, but at the finish line Bonds said he wanted to keep going. They wound up with 80 minutes that aired over several nights. It was the first time any journalist had asked Bonds, on camera, if he’d ever taken steroids. (For the record, Bonds responded that he took creatine, protein pills and amino acids.) On June 15, 2006, Guerrero became a correspondent on the TV news magazine Inside Edition. She later became the show's chief investigative correspondent and has worked on undercover stories and investigative reports. In 2011, she won the National Headliner Award for Best Investigative Report, beating Anderson Cooper for her undercover exposé on air duct cleaning scams. I was very cynical about it,’’ Guerrero said. “I said, ‘OK, I will do these pictures and I will do this cover because I’ll get to be 40 and a Latina on the cover of Playboy — very rare. I am very comfortable in my sexuality and my femininity, as are many Latinas. And I had fun doing the photo shoot, and I have no regrets about that. But I knew it was going to be really controversial. And they’re gonna be interested in talking to me. And I’m going to have a plan, because they’re going to ask me, ‘What’s next?’’’ I wasn’t sure yet. But I told him I’d like to meet and interview Monica and see where the story would lead. When Charles Lachman, our executive producer, gave it the green light, I headed to Gering, the remote town in Nebraska where Juliette had lived and died. I met with Monica, and we toured the home where Juliette had been killed. Then Monica played me the tape recording of her conversation with Doug Warner, the district attorney handling the case.

I didn’t realize just how much Lisa did with her career! I loved the way she told her story from trying out as a cheerleader to becoming a coach and reporter all while acting too! I appreciate the way she opens up about the industry and she isn’t afraid to speak up about her experiences. Fast forward a few years, and Guerrero has achieved phenomenal success as Inside Edition's Chief Investigative Correspondent. Her stories have led to arrests, changed federal legislation and policies at Fortune 500 companies, and helped shine a light on crime, scams, child abuse, and even cold case murders. And in the last decade alone, she has won over thirty-five national journalism honors and awards. As Inside Edition’s chief investigative correspondent for more than a decade, I’ve covered hundreds of stories—consumer scams, crooked politicians, corrupt televangelists, rapists and predators, child, women, elder, and animal abuse, and, well, the list goes on. Fast forward to reading “Warrior” - a real eye-opener! Her SoCal sports experience and interviews prior to MNF was impressive to say the least (Shaq, Kobe, Bonds). Learning about the work environment and what she was subjected to on and off the field brought additional respect for her. She was judged by many who never knew that was happening (until now!). This is a very brave lady. When she was sixteen, my mom moved from Santiago, Chile, to Chicago with her parents and four younger siblings. Her dad, Raul Guerrero, was a tailor who designed uniforms for bellmen, pilots, and the Salvation Army. Family legend has it that he sewed a costume for one of the Beatles when they were in Chicago for the Yellow Submarine tour.When I was five, we moved to San Diego, where my dad served as director of social services for the Salvation Army. My mom ran the food distribution center there. We lived in a tiny two-bedroom house next to an abandoned lot at the end of a cul-de-sac. My mother would speak her native language only when she was on the phone with her siblings. She insisted we speak English. But as much as she wanted me to fully embrace being American, she also wanted me to be aware of my culture. Pedersen, Erik (June 12, 2022). " 'RuPaul's Drag Race' & 'Top Chef' Lead Critics Choice Real TV Awards". Anyone who is a fan of Inside Edition or has seen clips of Lisa Guerrero on YouTube should read this book to get an INSIDE look into her life. Rebecca Aguilar, Emmy award-winning reporter, SPJ President (2021-2022), Founder of Latinas in Journalism, and Founder of Wise Latinas Linked I found the treasure trove of old Beta tapes,’’ Guerrero said. “And I was really reluctant to look at them because I was so traumatized.”
