You can also see the full video of the interview here at http://www.ownitsummit.com/. Abby gets on stage about 1:37. It is worth the time to watch.
For my nickel, Abby is acting like the leader she is with her no nonsense, no excuses approach to her recent DUI arrest. Kudos to her for owning it and moving on. She is certainly on the path to turn this into a "teachable moment" for so many.
Mea Culpa: I was never an Abby fan.
ReplyDeleteAfter watching the interview, I have gained a lot of respect for her.
DUI issue aside, she seems to speak from the heart. She came across as very genuine. It would be interesting to see how she interacts with people (fans) on a one-on-one basis.
Thanks Anon.
DeleteI have been and am currently an Abby fan. She is a great ambassador. DUI is serious stuff and glad she is handling it the way she is.
Ultimately I think it will be good all the way around.
Thanks for reading,
