“My coworkers became more than friends; they became family and accompanied me through the biggest professional moments of my life.
“I feel fortunate to have worked with the best in the business.”
In the comments of the post, the TV personality added that Ajenda would allow him to “continue his mission with many exciting new avenues.”
