New Greater Fayetteville Business Journal editor Stephanie Meador writes about how she sees her job.

Meador writes, “I’m proud of the stories I get to help share through this publication, many of which highlight business owners and professionals who made bold leaps similar to my own to get where they are today.

“After three and a half years, I’m happy to have been able to share a little more of my own story with you all, our loyal readers. Sometimes your search for a job in a city that’s one hour away from your hometown leads to a new chapter in a new state, and it’s exactly where you’re meant to go.

“There’s a popular saying, ‘do it for the plot,’ which means to do something bold or spontaneous because it makes your life story more interesting. While I didn’t move across states for a new job simply ‘for the plot,’ it has definitely made my story more interesting. I encourage you to do something bold this new year. Learn a new skill, visit a new business, start a new business, invest in new ideas, collaborate with someone new–do whatever feels right to grow and push yourself towards new heights. And when you’re ready to share the new chapter of your business’s story with the world, we’re here to help you.”
