Description

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.

Each episode focuses on a different successful person in the car business, examining how we learn to pick ourselves back up after falling down.
