There certainly was a lot of potential in the air for doing a magazine which focused on the way business, in particular, was being transformed by the Internet.

Rock stars are incredibly energizing to me.

You lie awake at 3 in the morning thinking of story ideas. You're online at 8 a.m. on a Sunday or midnight on a Wednesday. It's a job that you never push aside.

It's very rare that publications double their frequency.

See, what we were going to do was say, the Internet is this great business strategy tool.

It is never too late to do right.
