Deciding to start a magazine changed my entire life. I've interviewed people I never could have imagined, I've produced covers that still blow my mind, I've been featured on Forbes. But if there's one thing I'd go back and tell myself, it's that you don't have to have all the answers right now. You just have to leap.
