WANG: Thank you.
ROCKY: It makes me happy that you’re doing that. How’s it been for you so far?
WANG: You know, it’s still so new to me, having this experience and having this journey kind of be the first chapter . . . The first chapter is done but it’s going to take time to really develop what the next step will be. I’ve been given an opportunity to do something really different from what I do. It was difficult, but I realized that I had to take a dive at it and not focus on the fear. Of course, there are so many people who say you can’t do it because you have a reputation for doing something really different, but I ignored all of that and just went in there, and it was an amazing experience. Everyone was so welcoming and supportive. I guess I just have to let the work speak for itself and let it go from there
