Jay Levin, founder of LA Weekly newspaper
Once upon a time, at the start of the 21st century, I remarried, became a stepparent to three boys, and started a weekly newspaper–all at the same time. This despite having never owned a business, worked on a newspaper, taken a journalism class, sold advertising, or been a parent.
