If I was a cabinetmaker or a commercial fisherman, it would be the same question – how to connect to my world. The job we do affords us the opportunity to have people listen to what we say. But a lot of people have a similar situation: They’re trying to find a way to do some good.

Years ago, in order to stay sane, I had to really make an effort not to think about how people view us. There’s just so much noise, positive and negative, and not much good comes out of thinking about it.
