Pulling the trigger on FW Inc.

Hal Brown, the publisher of FW Inc., writes about the launch of the new business magazine in Fort Worth, Texas.

Brown writes, “The heart of our editorial focus (and frankly where my biggest passion for this product comes from) is the stimulating commentaries about some of the area’s best and brightest executives – entrepreneurs who unpack their professional journeys, sharing their stories and experiences (the good, the bad and the ugly). It is my desire that as a senior business executive, you will relate to these stories and that they unite you to an emotion, an inspiration or a mistake you made, and that you make a personal connection to the subject of the commentary.

“These stories, along with our lifestyle articles covering everything from Texas whiskey to gadgets and travel, provide the framework for our mission to deliver inspirational, educational and entertaining articles through shared experiences, lessons learned and best practices to help you run your own companies better and have fun doing it.

“One of the benefits of launching FW Inc. is the addition of Scott Nishimura to our staff. Scott is a truly gifted writer and reporter and now FW Inc.’s new executive editor. As a former Star-Telegram reporter for 28 years, and most recently a reporter for the Business Press, he knows Fort Worth business as well as any writer in the market.
