Just call him The Man From Rescue. New Prosper Editor Jeffrey Young comes to the post with a resume a mile long. Stints as Forbes’ Silicon Valley editor and co-founder of Forbes.com stand alongside his best-selling book on Steve Jobs: “iCon.” A gentlemen vintner (emphasis on the vintner), Jeffrey makes a mean Cabernet Sauvignon on his five foothill acres.

“Taking the cover concept ‘Building your future,’ I wanted to create a mini world/skyline for an imaginary city using everyday icons; a sort of impossible graphic city. It’s the sort of city our company, Build, would love to live in: high tech, forward thinking and eco-sustainable, and all looking a bit odd with it.
“I love the idea that a building might look like a paper clip and trees can grow as tall as skyscrapers. The wrench also looks like a hand, suggesting that we all have the opportunity to build our own futures!”
Michael Place is creative director of London-based Build and his favorite word is “skyscraper.”

(COVER: Our Business Tips Go to 11, page 32)
“In the rockumentary ‘This Is Spinal Tap,’ Michael McKean’s character David St. Hubbins put it like this, ‘There’s a thin line between stupid and clever.’ He was referring to heavy metal music, but it’s a sentiment that works for business, too. Lame advice isn’t hard to find — especially at the start of a new year. As for the job of lampooning the latest business ‘trends’ and gadgets, it was just a matter of taking reality and turning it up to 11.”
