• I've noticed that as someone who has done music and creative things in Washington state and Portland, to kind of toot your own horn, or admit, "I'm going for it. I'm hustling," is not exactly the norm.

People move here to work less. So, to say that you're hustling all the time, and going for it, is kind of a little bit against the grain here.
