Sup Jerry! Welcome man. I already Upvoted this post and followed you. I know exactly where you're coming from. I used to hustle gum in grade school.
Very well said post man. I'm pumped about whats in store and glad I'm in now instead of years from now.

I'd like to ask you something, I was wondering if you would be interested in teaming up with me and others? Aside from our normal random upvoting and curating, we’re looking to particularly team up with some like minded steemians.

We can work as a team to help and build each other up simply using the tag #minnowtowhale when we post stories. We can do a search at any point and find each other quickly that way. If we build up a decent sized team, we can help one another grow buy following, commenting, upvoting and resteaming each others work. Quality over quantity style. Interested? If so all you have to do is use the tag #minnowtowhale when you post. LMK if you're game or have any questions :)
