What do you enjoy most about being in your industry?
What I enjoy most about this industry is the people. They are really awesome.
As much as the industry seems very large, it's actually quite small. Many of us know each other.
The connections you make over time, seeing the same people in different places, is really cool. I think that's one of the things I really enjoy about this industry.
