#13: In this Member Spotlight, Scott and Warren welcome Darya Folsom—a beloved Bay Area news anchor with nearly four decades in television and 27 years as KRON4’s morning voice—for a wide-ranging conversation about mornings, mindset, meaning, and what happens when your life is built around delivering the news before the world even wakes up.

Darya pulls back the curtain on the 3 a.m. life: the solitude, the “two days in one,” and why she came to believe the most important part of the day should happen before you ingest headlines.

From meditation and intention to self-rebirth, they explore how we shape our inner world—especially when the outer world is loud, chaotic, and often dark.

In this episode, we explore:

* What it’s really like to wake up at 3 a.m. for decades—and why Darya calls it a “magical” hour

* Why Darya believes you shouldn’t start your day with the news

* How meditation, intention, and solitude change your ability to handle stress, leadership, and life

* The emotional cost of reporting tragedy—and how Daria learned not to carry it home

* What happened behind the scenes at KRON when Daria pushed for deeper, more human storytelling
