About
The wind blows wherever it pleases.
You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going.
So it is with everyone born of the wind.

In the midst of that doubt, two cultural outsiders seek him out and ask him a question that rings a bell that cannot be unrung and starts him on a journey of discovery and belonging. For all of us who have looked at the ways and heard the doctrine about how are supposed to get ahead and thought, "There has to be a better way," Bootsville is the story for you. Bootsville explores the toxic and self-destructive behavior of bootstrapping and the freedom of finding your place in a collaborative and fulfilling team. It asks the questions that challenge the doctrine of self-sufficiency and offers hope that we can go further in a team of like-minded collaborators.
