But that's not why I wanted to make this episode for you, I wanted to share this story with you because it could be your story too. 

You could decide to have a story that starts with contributing to something you care about, which leads to you becoming a known expert within a community that cares about the same thing and evolves into paid opportunities. That could be your story too!
