As the chief content officer for Hearst Magazines, a post she assumed after acting as editor-in-chief for both Cosmopolitan and Marie Claire, Joanna Coles days are never the same. And the Yorkshire, United Kingdom, native likes it that way.In her day job, Coles heads up development for the magazine group and new business ventures. This may seem quite the tall order to fill. But as a wife, mother and industry titan, she tackles her seemingly chaotic life head-on, and enjoys every bit of it.espnW talked with Coles about her first writing gig, working in male-dominated environments, and what inspires her now.This interview has been edited for length. espnW: What career advice would you have given your younger self?Joanna Coles: At 15 years old, I would have told myself to stop worrying about what the boys in my class thought about me. At 25, I was pretty focused, but I would have told myself to move to America a bit earlier than I did, as thats when I really focused on the magazine business. And at 35, I would have said, Dont worry, its all going to be fine.espnW: How did you know publishing was the right career path for you?JC: At the age of 10, I had my first piece published in what was known as the Junior Post, which was part of the Yorkshire Post, and it was just for kids. I read it every week. And I got paid for it. So I thought ... I can actually do this. I can get paid to write, and this going to be fine. I wrote several pieces for them. I was getting paid ￡2 per piece, so I felt quite rich at the time.espnW: You had early success. But did you have any career setbacks? And if so, what did they teach you?JC:I think probably the moments of failure have been when I didnt really understand that other people were around to actually help me. There were moments when I thought I had to solve everything on my own, and I didnt realize that I had resources. In the past I interpreted their help as a critique. As Ive gotten older, Ive become much more effective at seeking and accepting help, and bringing other people into the discussion. You start to understand that you can control or fix everything on your own.espnW: What does your average workday look like?JC: I dont really have an average day, and that works for me. If I knew what I had to do ahead of time, I would be so depressed. I love the unexpected. I love change. I love things being thrown at me.espnW: Have you ever felt uncomfortable in a male-dominated work environment?JC: I was working in a café when I was about 21, and I had a male colleague kind of sexually harass me, and Ive never socked anyone as hard as I socked him. Thankfully, after that he never tried it again. [In my professional career], I havent felt as much uncomfortable as I felt irritated. I often feel [bothered] in entirely male-dominated environments, because diversity gives you a much wider point of view.espnW: What motivates you on the job now?JC: Trying to create big, new, excellent ideas, and finding new talent excites me. And taking a traditional magazine and bringing it to a platform like Snapchat. Or discovering a new voice is just super-exciting.espnW: Speaking of finding new talent, do you mentor emerging writers? And did you have mentors?JC: I dont think of things in terms of mentors. I think in terms of good colleagues and bad colleagues. And Ive had spectacular bosses. And Ive been incredibly lucky to work with some of the best people in media. And Ive learned from a handful of really bad people. In the workplace, I wasnt needy in terms of needing a mentor, but people would take me on one side because they understood I was young and hungry, and they wanted to help me. But I do the same for people that I think have spunk. When I feel particularly excited about people, I will endeavor to give them my learnings along the way. I dont think in terms of people I have mentored, and I never had a formal [mentoring] relationship. But in the fast business of media, you look for people who are fast and responsible. And when youre on the way up, youll look for those who are willing to help you get better.espnW: Best piece of advice youd give someone pursuing a career in journalism?JC: Be open to opportunity and be flexible. And always take the call, you never know where its going to go.espnW: What is your greatest passion right now?JC: Just how I can constantly produce and change magazines. Oh, and improving my paddle tennis game.Ericka N. Goodman-Hughey is a senior editor at espnW.

FORT WORTH, Texas -- Johnny Sauter is still alone in qualifying for the title-deciding race in the first Chase in the NASCAR Truck Series.Sauter won his second consecutive playoff race Friday night with a late pass of Chase contender Matt Crafton, getting a victory at Texas that prevented anyone else from clinching a spot to contend for the championship in the finale at Homestead in two weeks.This is amazing, Sauter said after climbing out of the No. 21 Chevrolet in Victory Lane. I feel very lucky to be here. ... Matt was content to keep running the bottom, so Im going to the top.Just before reaching the line with two laps remaining, Sauter went high and passed Crafton for the lead.There were only three yellow flags in the 147-lap race, each after the caution clock had expired. Crafton took the lead after the final restart.But just like at Texas in June, Crafton got passed on the high side late and finished second. Rookie driver William Byron, another Chase contender, beat him five months ago after his winning pass with five laps remaining.It is what it is, Crafton said. Im not worried about the Chase. Im worried about winning races. The Chase will take care of itself.It was Sauters third win this season. He won the opener at Daytona and last week at Martinsville to earnn the first of four spots available for a chance to win the inaugural Chase championship for trucks.ddddddddddddWith only next weeks race at Phoenix before the finale at Homestead, there are still three spots up for grab.The next four drivers after Sauter in the points -- Bryon, Christopher Bell, Crafton and Timothy Peters -- are separated by only five points. Ben Kennedy is the sixth driver still in Chase contention.If Sauter or a non-Chase contender win at Phoenix, the final three spots would be determined by points.Polesitter Spencer Gallagher, who led three times for 88 laps, was in front with the final caution came out. But he dropped six spots on pit race and restarted seventh on the restart with 18 laps to go, when Sauter and Crafton got out front.The only 15 laps Sauter led were those right after the final caution. Sauter led twice for only six laps.I was able to throw caution to the wind, Sauter said.Sauter did offer one apology after the race. That was to the fans for not doing a customary extended burnout on the frontstretch of the 1 1/2-mile, high-banked track.I know that was lame, he said. Ive got to have this truck for Homestead. ' ' '
