Wow! Check out this superstar status update. Our delightful boss and one of the co-founders of Magic Pony, Steve Cober, just had an in-depth interview with Jenn Godbout posted on Behance Network’s blog, the99percent. The article goes into Steve’s professional history, how he started Magic Pony, and his thoughts on running a successful business (apparently, according to him, it is similar to running a successful Dungeons&Dragons game!)

Here’s a little portion just to give you a taste:

What’s the value in collecting?
For me personally, collecting is in part a way of remembering. I can remember people and times and events because of objects. When I see a comic book or a ticket from a movie it instantly snaps me back, like a catalyst for your life. Collecting helps you explore who you are or what you’re into. I never collect for money, that’s not really interesting to me. I collect for the object itself and the moment in which you collect it.

So how do you stay organized and focused?
Build a good team and delegate. One of the keys to building a strong company for us was in hiring people that are better than we are. By hiring someone that’s better at getting things organized or a better designer – you can make the vision and lead them and it’s always collaborative, but you’ll get what’s best for your business. I can use a D&D [Dungeons and Dragons] example to illustrate. In any kind of adventuring party, you need a warrior, a wizard, a priest, and a thief. The thief is for the delicate seeking, the priest is for when you need the power of the gods, the wizard for multitasking and the warrior for heavy lifting. And all of those people work together. Companies are the same –  you need to build a creative system that supports a range of players.
