“But most of all, we hope it truly exemplifies the thing that PIE holds most dear. That we are first and foremost about founders. And founders as people. With lives and families and friends outside of their startup pursuits.” — @turoczy link.medium.com/419MlkL4x8

In 2016, I had the unique pleasure of being interviewed by @mitsuyamazaki for his book Portland Makers. A follow up to his bestseller. My words and thoughts appeared in Japanese. And would be translated into Korean, as well.

In the 2007, I started @siliconflorist I was going to be a blogger. And then I got hired by ReadWriteWeb. I was a paid blogger. Over the course of the next dozen years, I would have the opportunity to write online and appear quoted in publications.

In the mid 90s, as a side hustle, I got hired by The Mining Co then about.com to be a “guide” (👋 @PeterCHoran). I was a paid writer. Then I started my own blog. I was going to be a blogger. As Flash became a thing, my work was highlighted in a book. I was in print.

I was going to be a writer. My first “life after graduation” job was as a literary agent. In helping authors, I found joy. I was going to be an editor. I got hired by another company to edit corporate newsletters sent via fax. I was going to be a journalist.

In 7th grade, I won a state writing contest. I was going to be an author. In high school, I spent several years editing the school paper and writing movie reviews. I was going to be a journalist. In college, I majored in English and got a few things published in school pubs.

"Many Black Americans remain skeptical that real change will happen. It is a dream too long deferred, too long denied. Overcoming systemic racism will require equally systematic solutions and a sustained sense of urgency," @Phil_Gaskin bit.ly/2OiXqEJ

History is filled with reminders of the collective power of people. Movements were birthed cause one day someone decided "I can & will ask more of my community." Well here's my rock into the pond that I hope creates swells of change, join me. @iwilldomore iwilldomore.org
