A big thank you to Kirsten Machen and Linda Leow for both sug­gesting, within days of each other, that I start inter­viewing people again, and also for the numerous feed­back requests. Thanks also to Debbie Sykes for some on-point UX sug­gestions and to Lorna Mc­Dowell for the fre­quent iPhone testing. Thanks to Shar­lene Versfeld and Nashen Moodley for help­ing me to get access to so many amazing people over the years, and to Mirah Von Wicht for all the hugs and support. Spec­ial thanks to all my past editors, especially Cyril Madlada, for his im­­mediate faith in me, Debbie Reynolds, for some wonder­ful work­ing years at the In­­depend­­ent on Sat­­ur­d­­ay and for giving me free reign to produce such eclectic con­tent, and to Yves Van­­der­­haeghen at the Week­end Witness for doing like­­­wise. And, of course, a mas­s­­ive thank you to every­one who has spoken to me over the years. And finally, warm and ap­­­prec­­i­­a­tive thanks to YOU for read­ing, watching, and listen­­ing, and to my mother Astrid Machen for her boundless and endless love and en­­courage­­­ment.
