You don’t know me yet, but you will.
The reality of building this dream is not all red carpets and autographs. It is difficult and grueling work that is exhausting both emotionally and physically. It is planting your feet and demanding to be seen in a town that regularly tells you, “Thanks, but no thanks,” then looks the other way. It is knowing that you’ve got it, and knowing that it’s up to you to be strong enough to make everyone else see it.
