that I admire has sat down with you and the fact that I'm sitting here right now in Vale,

Colorado and sitting down with you is just really special. Before we even really kick this off,

can you talk to me about what it was like when you realized that you were in Oprah's book?

Okay, yes, crazy. I'm so real. It's so crazy because I feel like that was a massive,
