I'm thinking that number is about zero.

Which is probably another one of my issues with life.

And the irony here is that you're a professional advocate for other people.

The law is structured, so I'm not dealing with any kind of personal advocacy in terms of individual human relationships.

The techniques used for dealing with insurance companies and the government doesn't have much to do with person to person informal advocacy in terms of things like getting promotions within organizations or day to day personal disputes.
