A favorite question Karen was asked once when she was still working as a TV correspondent came from an Oscar-nominated screenwriter and author who asked her… “What would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail?” Karen’s answer without hesitation. “Exactly what you’re doing….” And Karen says that question has fueled her forward ever since.
