Mitchell and Lisa talk Carmen Gentile about the topic of legacy in the context of his background as a reporter on the front line of conflicts. While his book talks about a singular moment in time (being shot in the face with a rocket-propelled grenade and partially blinded by the Taliban), Carmen shares his views on what legacy means before and after a terrible accident, and how fatherhood has helped clarify his perspective on the things that matter most.

Carmen Gentile has written for some of the world's leading publications including The New York Times, TIME, Newsweek, USA Today and many others. He has also produced online video reporting for The Times and TIME. He also regularly produces radio reports and has published numerous photos with his work. Carmen has covered both the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, embedding with US and local forces. In September 2010, Carmen was shot while embedded with U.S. forces in eastern Afghanistan. After a lengthy recovery, he returned to Afghanistan. His book about the experience, "Blindsided by the Taliban," will be published by Skyhorse Publishing in 2018.
