LIBBY COLLINS: Business can be boring. How do you make it interesting?
TIM GIBBONS: Reporters out of college will have this business can be boring, business is boring. Now, A, God bless people who sit through city council meetings, but, you know, if you think government’s interesting and business is boring, there’s something wrong with you. Business is what we do.
