Guthrie's Appreciation for Today Show Colleagues
During the launch of her book, Mostly What God Does, Guthrie credited her Today show colleagues, Jenna Bush Hager and Hoda Kotb, for inspiring and encouraging her to write. She described Hager as knowledgeable about the business and someone who provided valuable insights. Kotb acted as a cheerleader, pushing Guthrie to continue writing and believing in her capabilities.
Guthrie expressed gratitude for the support she received from her colleagues, including her husband and kids, and emphasized the importance of having such people in one's life.
She mentioned that her book primarily focuses on spreading the message of love and reassurance to readers.
