“Jered grew up in an environment in which thinking of easier and more effective ways of doing things was frowned upon and only hard physical work was thought to be the worthwhile thing to do. A lot of the work with him has been in relation to him not accepting himself, keeping what he’s really doing hidden, so he never gets credit for his real abilities, and ends up doing things for others for free. He has had difficulty finding business partners and people to support him in his projects. He has also had difficulty being paid for what he’s really good at, because he hasn’t put it out there in a way that gets recognized.”
