Every creative, every founder, every business owner, can relate. The new Full Bleed podcast features Orlando, a magazine about culture, art, beauty. It's a magazine structured as a hotel. A charming confection and place you want to check in to and never leave.

A magazine is many things. And in this case, a hotel. Confused? You won't be after a listen to the latest Full Bleed, where I speak to the woman behind Orlando magazine, a sumptuous confection out of Italy that will surprise you on every page.

Making a magazine is never easy. It's especially not easy when you reinvent it each and every time.

Fare Magazine travels the world, one city at a time, offering readers a literal taste of each destination. No lists, no suggestions, just a deep and personal dive into the flavor of each city. It's not the easiest way to make a magazine. But that's what makes Fare so good.

The latest Full Bleed Podcast just dropped.

A great essay about our need for friction.

"It is not virtuous to suffer, and discomfort is not noble. But everything in my life that is worth having, love and friendship and art and community, I found by fighting my way through discomfort. Pain does not mean growth, but growth does require pain."

I said this and I continue to believe it.

Arjun Basu: | have a theory and | want to bounce it off you, | think the last 20 years were an anomaly for print. I think it was like a dip or a panic and I'm calling it The Print Panic. Which happened because the business models and the money went online because it was more efficiently spent. But | think it’s like the media
version of the Satanic Panic that happened many years ago, that we had a Print Panic and we're going to find a new equilibrium.

We're finding it. And we're at the beginning of that.
