The good news is you don’t need a reason. At least not a reason with universal appeal. The desire to share with like minds is more than enough.
The good news is you’re already an expert and there will be no test. No certification. You just need to show up and work.
The good news is you’ve got nothing to lose. When you are just getting started you have nowhere to fall. The downside is fiction.
