Be Curious“When Daniel Herr was trying to get a job… he didn’t go banging on their door with his résumé…

“…He gently knocked, asking a few questions about them, just out of curiosity.

“…He learned about their work researching, designing and installing wind, solar and solar thermal systems.

“…Then, as people do in such conversations, they asked Herr about himself.”
