The story of the Internet is this incredibly strong, exciting change.

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

Rock stars are incredibly energizing to me.

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

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

The collective energy of everyone is what really made Business 2.0 exciting.

The hardest part of it was really being away from my family - I have two small children. Last year I took over 20 business trips, so being away from them was hard.

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 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.

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.

People say we were an overnight success. It took us a year to be an overnight success.

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