“As soon as I hung up the phone, I was … and excuse my language, I was like, ‘Sh*t, I gotta give a speech, and that is what I’ve been stressing about since.
“I don’t think it’s sunk in. And I was thinking about it because I mean, it seems like a long journey, but it also feels like yesterday when I started my career. And it also feels … because I’m still working so much, it doesn’t feel like an end of a journey.”
