3/ I quit my job to go to work for Taylor, Webber & Fast Company.
One of my favorite early features in FC — the actual print magazine: We wrote a short story each issue that wrapped around the edges of the pages of the opening section.
In the margins. A few lines per page.

8/ Those 3 stories @fastcompany changed how people thought about the world, about business, about work.
They changed how people thought about themselves.
Read one of them. It will transport you out of the crazy hubbub of the 15-day countdown to Nov 3.
