And why you will never see Reese Witherspoon wearing sweatpants. Or Oprah take a nap.

I asked my mom if I could be a sportscaster when I grew up. My mom was an adventurous spirit herself. Much to my mom's credit, she said, "Yes, you can."

It just mattered that her daughter had a dream and she was going to help her pursue that.
