Some thoughts by Sean include:

• The NewsCred acquisition for us, is building on the capabilities we have, acquiring a really great team that does things in a depth we havent done and then marrying it with some of the things that media companies can bring to a content studio and that in particular is direct audience distribution. Its one thing to help someone create a story, its another to get it in front of the right people.

• We built a company thats designed to cover niche markets for targeted audiences but do it in a way that is repeatable so we can scale by going across markets.

• Our journalists really focus on what are the trends that shape an industry, what does a story mean? Not just the facts of a story, but what does it mean to the industry? How does it relate to the trends that are shaping them and what comes next? I think by focusing on that and taking a real journalistic lens to these industries, weve been able to differentiate ourselves from maybe some of the legacy ones in there.
• When a big story happens, we can add context that mainstream business journalism cant.
• And the bedside book? Daisy Jones and the Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid - (although he noted he just got back from the beach and is normally a non-fiction guy).
