Although we are late dropping this episode of Folk(e)s Unfettered's nugget of Wisdom this Wednesday, we have a very good reason for doing so, we have been doing acts of service and we have been taking care of our physical health as I prepare for an upcoming surgery. This means I have been dealing with the Veterans Hospital and Veterans Affairs and there will be a series on Veterans' healthcare and the bureaucratic obstructions designed to increase the difficulty of veterans who were injured in service to their country to be acknowledged as having a service-connected disability, even if the servicemember's records show treatment for an injury. But, First, let's tackle the subject of what I call Soft skill thieves, these are individuals who come to you under the guise of wanting to collaborate on a project or enlist your services, when in fact, they are seeking to gather the information they can acquire without compensating you for picking your brain. In this episode, I share my experiences and my solutions to avoiding these time-wasters in order to discern individuals who value my time, experience, and expertise and are willing to pay for it, from those who are simply seeking to hack my brain for free.
