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

<p>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.</p> <p>Social Media</p> <p>Facebook: <a href='https://facebook.com/profile.php?id=100090053889622'>https://facebook.com/profile.php?id=100090053889622</a></p> <p>LinkedIn: <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/orion-taraban-070b45168/'>https://www.linkedin.com/in/orion-taraban-070b45168/</a></p> <p>Instagram: <a href='https://instagram.com/psyc.hacks'>https://instagram.com/psyc.hacks </a></p> <p>Twitter: <a href='https://twitter.com/oriontaraban'>https://twitter.com/oriontaraban </a></p> <p>Website: <a href='https://oriontarabanpsyd.com'>https://oriontarabanpsyd.com </a></p> <p>Orion's Theme: <a href='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrXBzQ2HDEQ'>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrXBzQ2HDEQ</a></p> <p>Thinking of going to grad school?
