When life hands you The Onion... peel the layers - Driven to Fail w/ Sam Smith, Ep 6 - John Krewson Driven To Fail with Sam Smith

    • Automotive

If a dream job ends too early, is it still a dream? How would you feel if you had to rebuild your life from one of those ends . . . twice?

John Krewson was a founding editor at comedy landmark The Onion. While there, he cowrote a number-one New York Times bestseller. Chris Farley crashed his wedding. An Emmy-winning writer for Rick and Morty and Community called him “the most talented writer I’ve ever worked with.”
When that career began to crumble, he chased another unlikely passion—he became an automotive journalist, at Road & Track. The years that followed held death, heartbreak, depression, job loss, struggle, and, ultimately, a happy ending.

Driven to Fail is a podcast about what happens when things go wrong. What we do when life falls apart, and what we learn when we try to put it back together.
