## What Jamie wrote

There is some wonderful brilliance here that I really like.

> But in the course of that long career, I met and worked with over a thousand people. A lot of that, but not all of it, was from 20 years of colleagues and clients at Forrester Research. But it also includes eight years as a freelancer helping authors with books and corporations with writing.

> Also in that network now are people who read my blog and people who I interact with on social media, especially in the author groups I participate in.

This is a great way to approach your professional activities, and even hobbies.
