Ten years ago, I was a blogger in a robe living at my mom’s house (temporarily after moving back from NYC).
I needed David Bishop ( @dlb100b) & @KevinCate to explain to the Florida Capitol Politce who I was so I could get a press badge. https://twitter.com/Fla_Pol/status/1359429519866789888

I went office to office in Tally doing my best to explain why PR firms and lobbying operations would want to advertise on my website.
There really wasn’t even a market.
Three people understood and said yes: Sarah @BascomLLC, Christina @On3_PR, @RonSachsFla.

First lobbying firm to get it was @SouthernGroupFL.
@Sabalogrande was in on the ground floor. So was Laura Boehmer.

One person has believed in me more than any other: @MichelleTodd.
She’s not just my wife. She’s an inspiration and a collaborator.
Almost every major idea flows from her.
The gods blessed me with an incredible muse.

Most consequential development was acquisition of http://FloridaPolitics.com domain.
I remember asking Michelle ‘What would be the web address we’d want if we were starting from scratch?’
She said http://FloridaPolitics.com but joked no way was it available.
Cost was enormous.

We took over Florida Voices and made it Context Florida. We have over last 5 years probably published more outside op-eds and columns than any other Florida news outlet.
We publish @BillDaytoons in a time when critics say there’s no room for editorial cartoons, esp. in print.
