Scott's thoughts:
We can become recognized like these organizations. We can communicate our mission like them. It will take regular, daily hard work...and we have to be more strategic and organized...but it will be rewarding and meaningful along the way!
One key goal should be for many regular SMALL successes in 2023, similar to that podcast you did. That was a huge accomplishment and success, and demonstrated (hopefully to yourself) that you can represent your varied interests verbally and visually!!
