Megan Greenwell is the editor-in-chief of Deadspin.\n\n\u201cI\u2019m the first external hire to be the EIC in Deadspin history, so not everybody knew me or knew anything about my work. I don\u2019t think there was resistance to me being hired, but I do think when you\u2019re coming in from outside, there\u2019s a need to say, \u2018Hey, no, I can do this.\u2019 Somebody told me about a management adage at one point: everybody tries to prove that they\u2019re competent when they first start, and what you actually have to prove is you\u2019re trustworthy. That is something that I think about all the time.\u201d\n\n\n\nThanks to MailChimp, Read This Summer, Google Play, and Stitcher Premium for sponsoring this week's episode.\n\n@megreenwell\n\n\nGreenwell on Longform\n\n\nDeadspin\n\n\n[4:30] Press Release: "Univision to Explore Potential Sale of Gizmodo Media Group and The Onion" (July 2018)\n\n\n[23:00] "Welcome to Deadspin.
