While his company, Sherry Road Media, 00:08:35.750 --> 00:08:39.629 saw $30 million in revenue last year, profitability 00:08:39.629 --> 00:08:44.210 remains elusive. Gulbin's goal is to foster community 00:08:44.210 --> 00:08:47.090 connections through journalism, despite struggling 00:08:47.090 --> 00:08:50.710 to hire reporters.
