Nattie’s book, if she tells you the amount of people who contributed to the book, it makes it very clear how powerful Nattie,
Rhodes said.
She’ll never act like she’s that powerful. Everybody ever was like, ‘Yep, what do you need? Yeah, tell me what you need and I’ll write it. You need this?’ That’s a Hall of Fame one I’m looking forward to because she’s one of those that when everyone’s standing and sincerely up on their feet, not wanting to sit down and mean it, she’s so special. She’s so special.
