Jacob Soboroff

Turn on your television or scroll through social media and you're likely to see Jacob Soboroff. That's because the MSNBC correspondent goes where the story is—from the heart of America's opioid epidemic and the coastal towns ravaged by hurricanes to Las Vegas in the wake of the horrific mass shooting. With a Bachelor's in Politics and a Master's in Political Theory and Philosophy from NYU, an eye for style, not to mention made-for-TV looks, he's making a name for himself in the established world of television news.

What's readily apparent when one sees him in action is that he's got a real feel for what people want to see and need to hear. And the persistence to coax it out of his subjects. His instant charm and sharp wit have him set up for a long, successful career in television and news, but he's the first to tell you that he puts his pants on one leg at a time too. Always on the road, we finally tracked him down to talk about how he gets the most out of his morning.

I'm not big on too many products these days.

The less I have to travel with, the better. Jason Schneidman cuts my hair, and he makes some of his own products—I think he puts surf wax in it or something. Then, I keep it pretty old school with classic green Speed Stick and some simple sunscreen when I can remember.
