 Business people have been made into these rock stars because they've made a lot of money. |
| Rock stars are incredibly energizing to me. |
| It's very rare that publications double their frequency. |
| People who say that the Internet is the bubble are incredibly misguided. |
| The collective energy of everyone is what really made Business 2.0 exciting. |
| And I love writing. I've always loved writing. |
| You have to remember when we were going once a month, we were putting out issues that were 480 pages, and people were complaining that these were too big, I can't get through a 480 page magazine every month. |
| The stock market can be down, but the stock market is not an indication of where people's spirits and enthusiam are, and where their intellectual energy is. |
| The magazine was being started by a company that had no experience in business magazine publishing. It was a little difficult to get people to sort of buy into it and to join the staff, but we did. |
| You know, technology CEOs like to think of themselves as rock 'n roll stars. |
| I think Fast Company has a tremendously smart focus and execution. |
| There was never any danger of Business 2.0 ever going under. |
| The best rock musicians are the most exciting people in the world. |
| Certainly there are bubble-like valuations of certain companies, but I don't think anyone out there believes that we're going to go back to doing business the way we used to do business. |
| The story of the Internet is this incredibly strong, exciting change. |
| I think what we should have done is integrate the web site with the magazine much earlier in the process. |
| Business 2.0 was hugely profitable last year, and will be profitable this year. |
| You can't be distracted by the noise of misinformation. |
| You've just got to focus on excellence and try not to be distracted by the news and the rumors and the absurdities of the stories that were coming out. |
| You have to remember a lot of business is very cyclical. Topics: Business |
