Congratulations! That`s great news! What a wonderful feeling!
And just a word of advice...you may not want to get too excited about an interview or promote it until you actually see it in print. Sometimes editors bump stories due to "big news" coming out, or other reasons you have no control over. However, when the story does come out, you can really jump for joy!
Congrats again Steve! Getting the interview (and photo session) is a big accomplishment!

It`s just that entrepreneurship seems to be a series of small steps
with small rewards that add up to big steps and eventually culminate in
some big rewards. In this case, the sense of hope that resulted from
simply setting up an appointment for an interview and briefly telling
the reporter a bit about our business is the reward that will motivate
me to make the time (not find the time), and develop the skills needed
to make PR a key part of our business success.
I also wanted to share this small victory because I`m learning that
most things are not as difficult as we make them out to be, once we get
over the hurdle of actually trying.
I`ve heard it said, "before you`ll ever learn to do something well, you
have to be willing to do it badly." I suspect that is a source for many
entrepreneur`s difficulty. We want to do everything right the first
time. We`ve forgotten that as babies we had to crawl before we could
walk, and at the time just crawling was an accomplishment.
You have a wonderful attitude towards entrepreneurship, and I have the feeling you will be very successful! Let me know how things work out with your article and PR efforts.
