# Portland Business Journal writer Malia Spencer talks about why she got into journalism, Portland, and startups with the And Uhhh… podcast

In today’s world of rapid consumption, we often fail to take the time to learn the super interesting backstories of people in our community. And what motivates people to do what they do. This is especially difficult when those folks make their living telling other people’s stories. That’s why I was happy to hear that the [And Uhhh… crew was grabbing some time with Malia Spencer of the Portland Business Journal](https://www.anduhhh.com/episodes/2018/7/5/episode-6-malia-spencer).
