After eight years of researching with his graduate students, Lee Jones, a former Florida State University associate dean in the College of Education, found that there was an opening in the magazine industry for the inspirational and motivational market, and he created InSpire, a new national magazine aimed at sharing the motivational and inspiring stories of "everyday people.""I decided to start (the magazine) because when I looked around at what was happening in the world, I really felt that I had to look internally to see what I was doing to try to help ease the emotional pain and strife that people go through everyday as a result of looking at what was happening in the world," Jones said. "I thought that an inspirational magazine would help with achieving that goal."
