I operate as pretty much a one man show most times.

Even as I try to get people interested in international efforts, domestic politics, or just volunteerism, it’s often like beating a dead horse so to speak. Most are just uninterested, don’t commit, or outright leave my hanging.

Every once in a while though someone does, even simply sharing their perspective or thoughts on how to approach a given plan, proposal, policy. Small conversations can really help when I often have to try to juggle five hats, all while only having my own background to use.
