WORLDVIEW: Seeing Seth Godin in person, hearing his “think small” message. Priceless.

I remember it like yesterday. My little publishing company's rising star, Felicity Duncan, has just been named newcomer of the year at the Sanlam Journalism Awards. Other editors are fluttering around her, hinting at coffee dates. She smiles, politely declines and accepts a congratulatory hug. I couldn't have been happier.

Felicity stayed with me and was soon running an editorial team whose members went on to become household names. She was the first SA journalist to win a Fulbright scholarship, found her American Prince Charming and moved permanently to Philadelphia. But we kept in touch and she found the time to help us get Biznews off the ground. Yesterday Felicity agreed to take over the editor's role with Worldview. I feel like that night so many years ago.

Jackie, Chris, Quentin and I will still be contributing, but Felicity will be co-ordinating this daily missive. She will also be penning the occasional piece, like the excellent one that follows.
