Transcribed with NVIDIA Parakeet · Timestamps stay in sync with the live audio
We w started to go through the stories one by one and they were Awful. And We were literally sick to our stomach. We're like How the hell are we gonna put out a publication?
Tomorrow, much less how are we gonna do this on a regular basis. A lot of people wanted you to fail. It was a big deal. I was uh pretty cocky in public about what we were gonna deliver. But it was that bad. It was a dark, dark moment.
Welcome to How I Built This, a show about innovators, entrepreneurs, idealists, and the stories behind the movements. They built. I'm Guy Roz and on the show today How Jim Vanden walked away from a dream job to help reimagine journalism with Politico.
