Greg and I met in the military. I originally emailed him about one of his Soldiers who was getting ready to join his unit. Simple, right? Baby… to my surprise, he replied with a whole dissertation full of concerns and frustrations. I stared at that email, clutched my imaginary pearls, and thought, “Oh, he must think I’m the one to play with today.” So I politely but very professionally let him know he was barking up the wrong tree, the wrong forest, AND the wrong ecosystem. And for some strange reason, me standing my ground had him all types of intrigued. Real “Harpo, who dis woman?” energy. When we finally met in person, we joked about everything like we’d known each other for years and the rest is history.
