IN MY MIND, a man is someone you can count on to be there for you,” says Bryan Scott, 38, a married father of two in Milford, Virginia. For years, Scott was an active volunteer. He’d teach at his church, show up for local charities, do yard work for older neighbors, and help friends on nights and weekends. And he did all this even though his workweeks included a daily 170-mile round-trip commute. Scott liked helping people, although he often felt overextended. Plus, he wanted to set a good example for his kids.
When Covid eliminated his grueling commute, he expected his schedule to ease up.
