Today is another amazing conversation, so let's get started.

Becca Engel. I'm so thrilled to be seeing you again. We met in San Antonio, Texas. We both spoke at a charity event for breast cancer. And when I heard your story, I was like, I need to share your story with my audience. How are you today?
