b'Josh Dean has written for GQ, Fast Company, New York, and more. His latest piece, "The Life and Times of the Stopwatch Gang," was just published by The Atavist.\\n\\n\\u201cI sort of reject the whole idea of something being beneath me. There are obviously some stories I wouldn\\u2019t do or that I have no interest in, but this job is fun and should be fun. And I wouldn\\u2019t turn something down that seems like a fun thing for me to do just because maybe the story is not something that 10,000 people are going to tweet about. I don\\u2019t give a shit.\\u201d\\n\\nThanks to TinyLetter, Squarespace, Lynda and HP Matter for sponsoring this week\'s episode.
