    About this ebook

    Five years ago, Joe Rogers lost faith in society's connection to one another until a well-traveled cowboy shed light upon his grim perception.
    Now, unknowingly trapped again by old feelings, he reads a passage in a book that puts him on a path to close the widening gap between strangers before he feels it's too late.
    I Said Hello is Joe’s personal and challenging account of a journey in which he discovers not just himself, but a family connection among strangers by simply saying hello.

Because at one point in life I wasn't too happy with my situation and came across a quote in an Outside Magazine article that shook me to my core.

The guy who works five days a week at a job he hates, or a guy who's doing what he loves?"
