While re-reading Echoing Green's book, Be Bold: Create a Career with Impact , I've been thinking about one of its main ideas--that people have moments of obligation. One of my moments of obligation came during the Green Festival in San Francisco in the fall of 2002. A lot of things have changed since 2002.
