Ep. 271- Dan Lyons: "Disrupted" Author on Loving Your Job, Losing it & Starting Over

Description:

Dan Lyons is kind of infamous. He was a journalist who loved his job and got fired when he was 52. “I loved what I did,” he said. And that’s rare. “I loved meeting people, talking to them, interviewing them, trying to figure out what’s a good story.”

 

And then it was taken away from him. I feel like 52 would be the worst time to get fired. He moved to San Francisco and got a job at Hubspot, which lead to his book, “Disrupted.” He exposes the company. And exposes Silicon Valley.

 

And then the TV writers for “Silicon Valley” invited him to write for their show. I wanted to know all about it. What’s it like on set? How much input did you give? And did they take? And then what happened when you went back to your job at Hubspot?

 

That’s sort of where Dan’s story begins. Because as he shares in his book, “Disrupted” they started to push him out. Like high school kids bullying a kid out of their clique.

 

I wanted to know how he survived. How he coped… And how he got back with his bestselling book.
