First off: Happy New Year! It’s been a while, but I am thrilled to announce that I’ve officially repurchased Lifestyle and South Florida Business and Wealth Magazines and am back at the helm, ready to lead our team into an exciting and transformative 2025. After some time away from the business pursuing other endeavors, it’s rejuvenating to return to an enterprise that has always been near and dear to my heart, one that connects us to our community, sparks conversations, and inspires positive change.
During my time away, I’ve reflected quite a bit on the power of great storytelling and the vital role our magazines play in amplifying the voices and stories that matter most to South Florida. We have an incredible team of creative minds and passionate professionals, and I couldn’t be more excited to work alongside them once again to bring you fresh, engaging content that resonates with our readers. We also welcome to the team our new Group Editor-in-Chief, Lori Capullo, so stay tuned for her debut issue coming in February.
As we look to the future, our focus at Lifestyle is on revitalizing the connections we’ve built over the years and forging new ones. In 2025, we will be doubling down on our commitment to producing content that speaks to our readers’ passions and interests, while also increasing our engagement with all of you through dynamic events and across more platforms. We believe in the power of face-to-face interactions, and we can’t wait to bring our audience together in new ways that foster deeper connections and meaningful discourse.
As always, we look forward to your continued support and thank you for being part of this incredible journey. Together, we are poised for an exciting ride, filled with fresh ideas, new stories, more than a few surprises, and a renewed sense of purpose.
I look forward to reconnecting with all of you in the months to come.
Warm regards,
Gary Press
CEO
