Hi Tim,

Thanks so much for writing this piece. I joined Medium last month and started reading your work then. I'll be reading you for a long time, I'm sure.

Your writing is consistently helpful to me. I'm so glad to get to see behind the scenes of how you run your business in your stories. I'm learning a lot from you. Thank you.

I especially love how you call yourself a "teacher." You're right - the labels we use for ourselves determine our future. I'm passionate about education, and I've been learning to embrace my writing as a form of education in today's world. I'm so glad to be writing in the age of the internet, aren't you?

Cheers,

Amy
