Fired to Fearless: Unfiltered with Kiran’s 5 Year Journey
Five years ago, everything changed in an instant. In June 2020, Kiran Chawla was fired from a television station. Instead of searching for another traditional job, she made a different choice: build something new — something completely unfiltered. What started as late-night investigations shared on social media and YouTube quickly grew into something bigger.On June 9, 2021, Kiran officially launched Unfiltered With Kiran. In this special anniversary episode, Kiran takes you inside the real story of those early days. Where she handled every part of the operation herself — reporting, writing, editing, legal work, and logistics —slowly turning a passion project into a legitimate media company.You’ll hear how Unfiltered grew from those scrappy beginnings into what it is today: a full app, a podcast, a new website, and a growing team. Kiran also reflects on the major stories that shaped the company — covering hurricanes and relief efforts, breaking news in real time, and pursuing investigations that others wouldn’t touch. This isn’t just a recap of five years in business. It’s a story about resilience, reinvention, and what happens when you decide to bet on yourself after everything falls apart.Timestamps07:50 Finding Breathing Room12:40 Building a New Future16:24 Cookies Become a Business20:20 Doors Finally Open29:41 Growing the Company35:51 Rising After Failure'40:49 National Award Surprise45:40 Faith and Fear49:39 Bet on YourselfLocal Sponsors for this episode include:Neighbors Federal Credit Union:Another Chance Bail Bonds:Family Worship Center ChurchTwin Team Realty If you are looking to buy or sell your home, look no further!

A Mother’s Mission: Holly Crow’s Fight For Jody's Law
In this powerful episode of Louisiana Unfiltered, Kiran Chawla sits down with Holly Crow, the mother whose relentless advocacy helped pass Jody’s Law — one of the most significant reforms to Louisiana’s hit-and-run statutes in years.On March 29, 2025, Holly’s 20-year-old daughter, Jody Mann, was struck by a vehicle while walking along Reinninger Road in Denham Springs. The driver fled the scene, leaving Jody critically injured. She fought for her life for weeks before passing away. What followed was a painful battle with grief and a justice system that initially allowed the suspect to be released on pre-set bond.Determined that no other family should face the same heartbreak and frustration, Holly partnered with State Representative Vanessa LaFleur to craft House Bill 806 — Jody’s Law. The bill sailed through the Louisiana House 98-0 and the Senate 36-0 before being signed into law by Governor Jeff Landry in May 2026. It takes effect August 1.In this unfiltered conversation, Holly shares the raw story of her daughter’s final days, the emotional weight of testifying at the Capitol, and the moment she watched Jody’s Law become reality. She breaks down exactly what the new law does — requiring a hearing before bail in serious injury or fatal hit-and-run cases, eliminating fixed bail schedules, and creating a rapid law enforcement alert system to quickly identify and locate suspect vehicles — and why she views it as an important first step toward stronger accountability. This is more than a legislative story. It’s a testament to the power of a mother’s love, the resilience of a community, and one voice refusing to stay silent.Timestamps01:26 Remembering Jodi03:50 Fighting Through the ICU12:11 A Law for Jodi 16:25 What Happened That Night?22:57 Building Jodi's Law28:05 Signing Ceremony Relief 30:08 Still Seeking Justice36:38 Fighting for Stronger PenaltiesLocal Sponsors for this episode include:Neighbors Federal Credit Union:Another Chance Bail Bonds:Family Worship Center ChurchTwin Team Realty If you are looking to buy or sell your home, look no further!Call (225) 354-9761 Today!Sound and Editing for this audio podcast by Envision Podcast Production:
