Trace Gallagher has spent 30 years reporting some of the biggest stories of our time. But the lessons that shaped him most came from much closer to home.

On this Arroyo Grande, Raymond sits down with the Fox News anchor to talk about his new book, Turns Out They Were Right All Along: Life Lessons I Learned…Eventually, and the wisdom he picked up from his mother “Big Red,” legendary coach John Wooden, his family, his faith, and decades in the news business.

Trace opens up about fatherhood, marriage, the tragedies he witnessed at Columbine and in the aftermath of the Southeast Asian tsunami, the career gamble that nearly sent him out of television, and why faith, family, fortitude—and a little common sense—still matter.
