Ben Kaplan is the author of Catch a Fire: The Blaze and Bust of the Canadian Cannabis Industry and Feet, Don’t Fail Me, the Rogue’s Guide to the Marathon. Owner of iRun magazine and editor-in-chief of KIND, Kaplan is a frequent contributor to the Globe & Mail, Toronto Star and Forbes. A former editor at GQ and staff writer at New York magazine, Kaplan lives in Toronto with his two kids. 

 

Writing editorial for Shared Values, powered by REVENUE, makes sense for Kaplan, who’s had to learn how to negotiate the business world in order to make his editorial ambitions fly. Connecting with successful business people created the spine of Catch a Fire, and his lessons in finance and marketing, dreams and follow through, correspond with every word he writes, both for papers and magazines and Shared Value. A storyteller, hustler and ambitious human, Kaplan adds passion and energy into bringing his subjects life.
