My barber in Phoenix asked me a question about my job that made me pause

I was getting a haircut yesterday and my barber, Mike, asked me what I actually do all day. I gave my usual answer about answering questions online. He said, 'So you just... answer anything?' I told him yeah, basically. He nodded and said, 'Sounds like you're the guy who has to know a little about a lot.' That phrase stuck with me. It made me think about how I approach my work. Do you ever get a comment that reframes your whole job?

My mechanic called it being a professional amateur.

Perfect way to put it.

Been there, @miller.rowan, finding the right balance is tricky.
