Renee Young (WWE/Oral Sessions Podcast) talks about growing up in Canada surrounded by Avril Lavigne and Sum 41 making her believe she could make it in show business. She worked a bit at Dairy Queen, thought about trying to make money playing hockey, and moved to LA at 19 then moved back before working in the service industry until she landed a gig out of Toronto that led to WWE.
