Why Does GeekWire Co-founder John Cook Love the Media Business?
at 51:34
Answer
Asked on Geek at Sea what he would do if GeekWire were sold, John Cook says he would slow down, spend more time with his family, and then get restless. He loves the media business. He calls it fascinating, and he loves telling stories and connecting people through those stories. He would stay near media, perhaps by helping the next reporters and media founders. He also says a free press is under attack, hopes that is temporary, and calls a free press imperative to democracy. Storytelling plus that civic stake is why he does not picture himself retired from the work.
