"

I'm a business woman and that's how my mind thinks. Am I, you know, I've been a constant entrepreneur as we've discussed, like when you're an entrepreneur, you start selling things when you're like five, you know, I would have gone right into Wall Street, right into business of some sort.

And I kind of kept it hidden.

But when I started to actually write the book and then of course it was everywhere, which was totally shocking.

So I kind of put this all in a book thinking, I don't know what's going to happen.

And I never promised you a goodie bag. We'll have all the info in the show notes about that too, but just an incredible memoir to read more about the story.
