Knowledge@Wharton: Explain how you ended up going to work for HubSpot.
Dan Lyons: I was working at Newsweek and got laid off and looked around and saw that it wasn’t just my company that was struggling; the entire industry I was in was struggling. I thought I should start a new career, even though I was 51 at the time. I thought, I can start over. I thought marketing would make sense. A lot of companies, especially tech companies and VC firms, are now hiring journalists to come in and be their in-house blogger. So I decided to make that leap.
