So it was a Friday afternoon, and I had just turned 23 in the month of April, and just really living the dream, pursuing my, my calling, if you will, speaking, entertaining.

And it was on the mor- Friday morning, I had a meeting with the university.
3:14
I was gonna be doing a show there the following weekend, and I was driving back to my office, and I was stopped at a red light on the highway.

And at this red light, my entire life as I knew it would come to a stop, and everything would go black, if you will.
