Consider Yourself Crew

Near the end of my first Road to UNBOUND Office Hours, Rob said something I did not expect. "Yeah, we accept hitchhikers, so consider yourself now a member of the crew. Tell your friends to come join." That came right after I told the group something true. I have worked in the HubSpot ecosystem more than ten years, and until that call I had not said parts of it out loud to anyone. Being welcomed as crew right after that, not after a polished answer, stayed with me. The invitation was for the whole thing, not just the good parts.
