KARL WOLFGANG (STAINTON) Anthony DeCurtis A contributing editor for Rolling Stone and lecturer in creative writing at the University of Pennsylvania, DeCurtis is the coauthor of Clive Davis's autobiography, The Soundtrack of My Life, and he's currently working on a biography of Lou Reed. What resonated with you most about your chat with rock 'n' roll photographer Lynn Goldsmith (page 62)? It's brilliant that she doesn't think of herself as a photographer. It shows how mistrustful she is of definitions of any kind. Of which of your career accomplishments are you most proud? Winning a Grammy was a huge thrill, but having the opportunity to meet and write about so many of the artists who shaped my life has meant the most to me. I'm beyond grateful for that. Silbi Kelly Stainton In this issue Stainton wrote about her experiences as founder and CEO of Peace of the Action, a social enterprise linking women entrepreneurs in conflict countries to the global market (page 74). How did Peace of the Action come about? It became clear that fair trade, powered by women-led businesses, was key to bringing forth the economic growth the region [Pakistan] needs to be less prone to extremism. I partnered with talented women I knew from working with Marshall Direct Fund and recruited a board of directors with global sales and marketing experience to get Peace of the Action started. What do you want people to know about Pakistan? Financial giants like Goldman Sachs place Pakistan as a Next 11 nation [meaning one with high economic growth and investment potential]. It is exciting to be on the front wave of these opportunities. Rob Story A correspondent for Outside and columnist for Skiing magazine, Story's work has appeared in Men's Journal, Esquire, Rolling Stone, among other publications. He authored two books, and in this issue he penned a profile on Casey Sheahan (page 68) and a story on the 5Point Film Festival (page 84). What's better in Colorado: winter or summer? Skiing in winter, because nothing else in nature or sports or mountains feels as deliriously ecstatic as the deep powder turn. What's your next adventure? I'm headed from Telluride to Aspen to shralp the bejesus out of Highlands Bowl. My run there in late March occurred in thigh-deep fluff. 026-027_AP_FOB_Contribs_SUM_FALL_14.indd 27 5/6/14 2:58 PM
