One thing my wife said is that it’s a more interesting document to read. I mean, this document is *so* much more interesting, and it will make the conversations and job interviews much more interesting.​ ​You’ve been amazing to work with. I could not be happier.”

And so much better than what I was doing. Thank you, really.”

There’s still a lot of emotion tied into it. To be honest, I have a lot of shame around it, even though it was 10 years ago. I need to be more comfortable in how I define—and market—myself. After talking to you, I’m feeling very motivated. Let’s do this!”
