But for me, the greatest tribute I can pay her is to reflect on who she is as a person. Despite being dealt a very tough hand at times, she’s warm, open, funny, empathetic, admired by so many, and fantastic to be around. That’s what I define as being successful.</p><p><br></p><p>This episode is quite a long one, but each segment is connected to the next, and some conversations are worth spending the time on.
