And I had this amazing coach on my team called Goldies, but Goodies. Bobby Socks is a softball League for little girls. Lisa Guerrero (Guest) 00:03:25 So I had an amazing softball coach. Matt Cundill (Host) 00:03:22 Who is your favorite coach and what did they teach you? So that was the thought process back then. And then when I got older, I thought, well, I'm probably not going to be able to be a professional quarterback, but maybe someday I'll be a sports reporter or a sports writer, but I still want to really pursue acting. So that's kind of where I was going as a kid. So my dad never told me I couldn't do both. And so when I was growing up, I kind of thought that some day I'd like to be a quarterback for the San Diego Chargers and a famous actress. And so my dad thought it was important for me to both have that acting experience, but also to have a sports experience. So I was a softball player, ran on the track and field team, was on the dance team and competitive dance team and drill team. And as I got a little older, I was also really involved in sports, because the other component that my dad thought was important was to put me in team sports. So I thought, yeah, I want to be an actor when I grow up. I was very comfortable in front of people, expressing my opinions, expressing my feelings. I knew from the theater experience when I was eight that I really loved being on stage, and I could channel my emotions in a safe place through a scripted storytelling process, that I was good at it, and it was comfortable for me. Matt Cundill (Host) 00:01:46 Did you know you wanted to be an actress at that point? And I was able to use theatre as a tool to help me deal with my sadness. There are good things, there are bad things. I immediately learned how to put my grief in a place that was creative and therapeutic and was a natural, organic extension of living life. We lived in San Diego, and there was a program at the Old Globe Theatre, Junior Theatre. Lisa Guerrero (Guest) 00:00:53 Well, I think I was blessed that my dad, who got his master's from University of Chicago in Social Services, immediately knew enough to get me into grief therapy at eight, and I was a pretty active kid and very creative, so he got me into theater therapy.

In this episode, Lisa shares the high and low points of her time working in broadcasting everything from a toxic environment at Fox Sports, to the abusive media criticism as a sideline reporter from Monday Night Football in 2003, where they changed the job description mid-flight.
