Journalists in "Big League Cities" write big stories multiple times a week if not daily.
Imagine me saying this is in a kind and respectful tone, because that's how I intend it: You clearly have no idea of what Steve puts into his job.

The dude is EVERYWHERE, all the time. He never misses a downtown meeting, is always out talking with people. Then he writes, blogs, tweets, chats all day every day. Not to mention, writes multiple books, helps spearhead Retro Metro, posts here, is great about responding to emails and messages... All this seven days a week. Honestly, I don't know how he does it.

I simply don't know anyone who works harder or more consistently. And I know a ton of driven people.


I say all this not to kiss Steve's arse, but because I have a very good idea now of what he does and I'm not exaggerating when I say I am in awe.
