Well Being Creative

My guest today is journalist and author Phil Lewis. Growing up in Detroit and working his way through the education and journalism fields, Phil is currently the front-page editor for the Huffington Post. His finger seems to always be on the pulse as he reports in real-time through these crazy moments. His Twitter is one of my favorites to follow as his tweets blend my love for current events and history, with comedy and sarcasm. I am excited to take some time to talk with Phil about what goes into being a journalist in 2020, and with that, I welcome Phil Lewis to Well Being Creative.

So with that intro, it’s my pleasure to welcome Adam Leeb to Well Being Creative.
