	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.

	I got to sit down with people who I admired, and have conversations with some of the greatest thinkers and artists and performers. It's a huge privilege for me to be a journalist.

	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.   
- 
	
	I think what we should have done is integrate the web site with the magazine much earlier in the process.

	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.

	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.   
- 
	
	Rock stars are incredibly energizing to me.   
- 
	
	I think Fast Company has a tremendously smart focus and execution.

	People who say that the Internet is the bubble are incredibly misguided.

	I still believe that the mission of Business 2.0 is very strong, very fundamental, and we're really at the beginning of where they're going to take us.   
- 
	
	The collective energy of everyone is what really made Business 2.0 exciting.   
- 
	
	The story of the Internet is this incredibly strong, exciting change.

	You know, technology CEOs like to think of themselves as rock 'n roll stars.   
- 
	
	You can't be distracted by the noise of misinformation.   
- 
	
	See, what we were going to do was say, the Internet is this great business strategy tool.   
- 
	
	You have to remember a lot of business is very cyclical.

	You can't suppress creativity, you can't suppress innovation.

	The best rock musicians are the most exciting people in the world.

	I'm a history buff, and right now we're sitting on one of the most dramatic historical shifts that this planet has ever seen and we have a front row seat for it.

	Business 2.0 was hugely profitable last year, and will be profitable this year.   
- 
	
	I think up until that time a lot of focus on Internet coverage was either sort of the bits and bytes aspect of it, sort of the high-tech aspect of it, and the sociological aspect of it, which is how it was transforming culture.

	Business people have been made into these rock stars because they've made a lot of money.

	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.
