Nobody cares about why you did or who interviewed you when you were 13. Let it go. You already got your answer.

No, at that point you had already gotten an answer and one (two including this one I quoted) that I think are 100% wrong. If the business had died or you had stepped away from it, that would be one thing. But the fact that it is ongoing is what’s important, and it would be very easy (and I think impressive) to tie the articles about you into a statement/essay about that whole experience. Frankly, if this business is as much a part of who you are as I would think it is, then I am not sure why this is even a question. But I also agree that as a good business person, you should be pushing for any opportunity to have it publicized, so if you could somehow arrange for a follow-up article, that would be very sweet. Doesn’t have to be the NYT, although that would be best. @teenbizman1
