Marc Hershon Marc has been writing screenplays since 1983, when he inadvertantly sold one to Universal Studios. Coincidentally, that is the same year he began doing improvisational comedy. He has been creating brand names since 1987, when he started doing freelance branding for one of the hottest branding companies in the world. Somewhere along the way he also started doing editorial cartoons, which he provides for the Half Moon Bay Review. He has written half a half a dozen movies for the Hallmark Channel since 2001 which include Santa Jr., Monster Makers, and Wedding Daze. Since cutting his comedy teeth with Seattle TheatreSports, Marc has directed and performed with improv groups with names like The Comedy Underground, The Bargain Basement Players, The Oxymorons, The Fabulous Gooey Ducks, and most recently The Riffingtons. He's writing sketches for the Fries On The Side sketch group in LA even while you're reading this. He has performed Reiki, massage and energy healing for the past 15 years. Marc's worked in radio, theater and television. He occasionally offers his services as a psychic intuitive, although rarely mentions this in public. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, Marc has really never held a job at a company with a traditional corporate structure, which just may be your saving grace.	Jonathan Littman A Contributing Editor for Playboy, Jonathan has been writing bestselling books and articles about business, crime and sport since the mid 1980’s. His last three major pieces for “that magazine” have been set in the worlds of baseball, football and golf, affording him the pleasure of partying at the SuperBowl and giving him an excuse to travel to Augusta to see Tiger and Phil at the Masters. Jonathan has written about business and high-tech for over two decades. He’s the co-author of the new Ten Faces of Innovation, (Doubleday, November 2005) with Tom Kelley of IDEO, and also co-authored the bestselling business classic, The Art of Innovation. Jonathan’s two non-fiction volumes on famous computer hackers, The Watchman, and The Fugitive Game, the bestselling story of the legendary hacker Kevin Mitnick, guaranteed that pimply boys broke into and read his e-mail for many years. Jonathan also penned a little book on Churchill that he advises you skim to impress people at cocktail parties. Jonathan studied how the ancient Greeks and Romans spoke and wrote while earning a degree in Rhetoric at Cal Berkeley, and, as his friends know all too well, he likes to talk as much as he likes to write.
	A frequent corporate speaker who has written broadly about innovation, design, technology and business, Jonathan has appeared as a commentator and guest on Talk of the Nation, Fresh Air, CNN, Fox & Friends, and many other radio and television programs. Jonathan’s books have been published in thirteen languages, and he has been featured in Newsweek, Time and the New Yorker. Four of Jonathan’s books and articles have been optioned for film, and Showtime is currently turning his Playboy piece on the Barry Bonds BALCO drama into a movie (Jonathan is a co-producer.) A two-time winner of the Computer Press awards, Jonathan’s San Francisco Chronicle series on murder at the Cabazon Indian reservation was a finalist for a Pulitzer prize. Access is the centerpiece of Jonathan’s work: access to fascinating businesses, criminal investigations, and great stories. Jonathan wrote the first major piece about Amazon.com for the Los Angles Times, and has managed to get inside some of the most amazing startups and biggest corporations in America. Independence and a novel perspective are his trademarks.
