Emerson Spartz is the founder of Spartz Inc., a network of websites including OMG Facts, MuggleNet, and GivesMeHope that reach millions of people every month. Emerson’s Harry Potter fan site MuggleNet was so popular that it attracted the attention of JK Rowling, who invited Emerson to Scotland to do a special interview with her when one of the later books came out. I interviewed Emerson to learn how he created this popular network of websites, his process for evaluating new ideas, and why homeschooling ended up being the best thing that ever happened to him. This interview is a part of Beyond The Pedway, a site created by Tim Jahn as a resource for creative entrepreneurs to learn from the successes and failures of others.
