経歴と著者の歩み
Raised in Idaho, Shane Snow grew up with a curious, tinkering mindset, taking apart modems, climbing abandoned potato silos, and reading widely. After time at BYU-Idaho, he earned a master’s from Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism, bringing entrepreneurial instincts into formal reporting training. His early career began in media, science, and business journalism, then broadened into investigative work on corruption, coverups, and human behavior. A defining turning point came when writing about innovative companies pushed him to build one himself: in 2010 he co-founded Contently, a platform created during a period of upheaval in publishing and built to connect storytellers with publishers and brands.
