I squirm when people ask what I do. My answer typically starts with a deer-in-the-headlights stare as I pause to get a read on the person who asked. Have they ever started a company? In these moments, I envy accountants, lifeguards, cashiers, lawyers, musicians, or anybody else who has a job we all kind-of-sort-of understand. Unfortunately for me and the person curious about my vocation, I am none of those things.
