I know it all comes back a hundred fold. Yes, I have a paying job, but in that job, I work to show what I know about topics in an open way. Yes, I often will be lucky enough to get a compensated presentation, but I try to pass on as much information as I can in those sessions, and I often ask people to contact me with follow-up questions or connect with me.
