Kerry Brown on Nostr: I had the vague notion that I should do something with the skill set I'd cultivated ...

I had the vague notion that I should do something with the skill set I'd cultivated over the years but wasn't sure how to go about it. At that moment, I just wanted to earn some money to keep our mission moving forward. I had a few mowing customers - small yards I did with an electric Ryobi mower. I was starting to get the inkling of that side hustle / entrepreneur mindset. But I wasn't ready to walk away from the perceived security of regular wages. I also really needed to get my stress levels down. I called up a friend who's family ran a small bakery. I'd worked there part-time a few years back but left when the wages just couldn't cover what we needed to earn. I knew they needed a maintenance/dishwasher/handyman type and I secured the position.
