S1 Ep4: Always Google Your Neighbors with Megan Greenwell

Megan Greenwell is the editor-in-chief of Deadspin.“I’m the first external hire to be the EIC in Deadspin history, so not everybody knew me or knew anything about my work. I don’t think there was resistance to me being hired, but I do think when you’re coming in from outside, there’s a need to say, ‘Hey, no, I can do this.’ Somebody told me about a management adage at one point: everybody tries to prove that they’re competent when they first start, and what you actually have to prove is you’re trustworthy. That is something that I think about all the time.”Thanks to MailChimp, Read This Summer, Google Play, and Stitcher Premium for sponsoring this week's episode.@megreenwellGreenwell on LongformDeadspin[4:30] Press Release: "Univision to Explore Potential Sale of Gizmodo Media Group and The Onion"  (July 2018)[23:00] "Welcome to Deadspin.
