About this deal

A major problem with the book is that she only alludes to some major life or career events, failing to give any stories about working on some big TV shows as an actress or alongside famous people. She glosses over a number of highlights while spending way too much time trying to tell us how mistreated she was by men. Suggested Read: Norah O’Donnell Age, Husband, Kids, Salary, Net Worth Lisa & Scott’s Secret Divorce 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.

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.” GUERRERO: So, because “Inside Edition” is popular with young people because of YouTube, a lot of kids watched my investigations. They binged them on their devices. I started to read the comments below my stories written by a teenager is and kids in high school and junior high school, and they would say, wow, she looks like Wonder Woman. She’s out there, you know, chasing these bad people and demanding justice. She’s brave. I want to be brave like her but I’m being bullied in school. I want to be able to stand up to my mom who is being abused by my dad. And I started reading these comments from young people and I just wept. I thought they look at me as being brave. But when I was their age, I was shy, I was awkward, I had lost my mother at eight years old. I was glasses and braces and, you know, an introvert. I was far from brave. But they see me as being brave. So, I wanted to write something that would be both a love letter and a, you know, guide to how to navigate through obstacles from the time you’re a kid, from the time you’re 58, like I am. I wanted people to know that you can always reach down into the inner warrior that I believe we all have. The reason I called the book “Warrior” is my last name Guerrero or guerrero means warrior in Spanish. And when I was little, I was eight years old when my mom was diagnosed with lymphoma. She died at 29. But before she passed away, she pulled me aside and said, Lisita (ph), never forget that your last name is Guerrero, and Guerrero means warrior. You were born to fight. So, that’s the legacy I wanted to leave in this book. I wanted everybody to know that we all have an inner warrior, we need to unleash it. Part of the problem, Guerrero alleges, is that Gaudelli wrote her scripts and demanded that she memorize every word. Today, I spend a great deal of my time chasing bad guys as the Chief Investigative Correspondent for Inside Edition. It is an incredibly stressful and dangerous job. People ask me all the time about how I can be so brave. My upcoming memoir WARRIOR (Hachette, 2023) will give people practical advice on how to tap into their inner courage. 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.

MARTIN: Likewise. You know, you’ve had this incredible career. And it’s interesting because I’m guessing that a lot of people who know you from one of your lives doesn’t necessarily know you from your other lives. I mean, you’ve been a professional football cheerleader, you’ve been an actress on a popular drama, you’ve been a sportscaster on what has been the highest profile, you know, sports show, especially in football. You’re a long time award-winning investigative reporter, and now, you’re writing a memoir. Why now? What made this time?

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." When it comes to her latest career of being an "investigative journalist," the few examples she gives actually show her weaknesses in the job and using it for advocacy, failing to have an objective approach to her subjects on Inside Edition. So while Guerrero may be an interviewer and may do "reporting" in the most simplistic sense, she is not a trained objective journalist and (to be honest) isn't that great on the air. Her stilted talking style and emphasis on looks basically make her come across as the cheerleader-actress she started as. I love how she didn't shy away from some of the deep and heartbreaking moments she encompassed upon in her life. Lisa is an inspiration to many, and I highly recommend this book to anyone & everyone!Well, that looks like a clear indication that Lisa and Scott have finalized their divorce and are no longer together. MARTIN: I have to say just losing your mom at eight and hearing you talk about what it was like to grow up without a mom, even though you obviously had, you know, a wonderful dad. And you have a beautiful dedication to him at the beginning of your book, which is lovely. But just losing your mom at eight, I mean, that’s just a very tough thing for any kid. How do you think that kind of shaped you as you were growing up?

Thank you to Netgalley and Hachette Books for providing this advanced reader's copy of Warrior: My Path to Being Brave by Lisa Guerrero, in exchange for my honest opinions and review.

During her career in sports broadcasting, Guerrero covered Super Bowls, Worlds Series, NBA Finals, and interviewed sports superstars. From the outside it seemed glamourous, but often she was miserable, told to smile more, argue less, and show a lot of leg and cleavage. Colleagues would joke—sometimes on national TV—that she clinched big interviews because of sexual acts rather than talent. She made a mistake on air during the opening game on Monday Night Football that cost her her sportscasting career... and almost her life.Walters, John (October 12, 2017).

Admittedly, I had forgotten about Lisa Guerrero. Her infamous tenure on Monday Night Football was 20 years ago and I can't say as I've watched Inside Edition more than a few times. So why did I buy her autobiography? My most recent project has been a series of Frida Kahlo mixed media mosaic portraits. Like many Latinas, I consider her my favorite artist, and she represents beauty, strength, passion, and a fearless devotion to social justice as well as to her lifelong love, Diego Rivera.Her career on camera spans four decades and the lessons she’s learned overcoming incredible challenges are the basis for her inspirational memoir, “Warrior: My Path to Being Brave“ (Hachette: January 2023) and is being developed into a tv series. As a child, her Chilean immigrant mother, Lucy, explained to her that in Spanish, “Guerrero means Warrior” so Lisa was destined to fight for others. Meanwhile, my father, a planning consultant for nonprofits, is also a gifted photographer, poet, and visionary. He has dedicated his life to social service. Because of my parents’ influence, my mixed media mosaics convey messages of empowerment, pride in culture, and my commitment to social justice. Lisa Guerrero chronicles her iconic career—from dealing with harassment as a sports broadcaster to chasing “bad guys” for Inside Edition—and proves that through small, daily acts, bravery is a muscle we can strengthen over time. 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. 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.
