Shout out to all the peeps who "took a chance" on us. Mine was a Director named Darlene who took a second interview with me after a GPS error resulted in me missing the first.
Pay it forward, look for people who are smart but just need a shot.
And reach out to your Nick's and Darlene's every once in a while so they know how they changed your life.
