Episode 363: Why I do what I do (if no one else is doing the job, you’re elected)

In the course of my work, I'm occasionally asked why I do what I
do. It's a complicated question, but -- by way of an answer --
I'd like to offer an anecdote from my life. On a Saturday night
many years ago, I ended up directing traffic at a chaotic
intersection in New York City. The moral of the story is that the
world doesn't need more people getting irate or walking past the
problem. The peanut gallery is full. If you see an issue, and no
one else is solving it, then congratulations: you've just been
elected. Become part of the solution, and your life will be an
adventure.
