Wow this is a pretty solid introduceyourself post. I too found out about this whole steemit thing by chance as well. I was listening to a late night radio show, and a guest host to a nationally syndicated radio show (Coast to Coast) AM hosted that night by Connie Willis, who happens to be a steemit user @bluerocktalk. She was interviewing Stan Larimer (@stan) "The Godfather of Bitshares," I started listening to what he was saying about the exact same thing you were talking about FINDING VALUE, thinking, "why in the world is everyone else not doing this?" Anyway your background is stellar and you were lucky enough to catch this place on the ground floor that is for sure. I welcome you to visit @greetersguild, it's a place that many of my friends on here go to visit with, upvote, and help provide ongoing support for people who have just started up. I am available any time, if you have any questions, I answer replies as quickly as I can. Welcome aboard @micmay!
