SUMMARY:The Funny Story Behind the Funny Stories w/Scott Dikkers
DESCRIPTION:The Funny Story Behind the Funny Stories \nGet ready to cry tears of laughter as Scott Dikkers\, the longest-serving editor and co-owner of The Onion\, joins us for a no-holds chat about the rollercoaster ride of building his unconventional company from a dorm room project among friends to an internationally recognized comedy brand. Scott will share the painful struggles and lofty triumphs of creating and nurturing The Onion’s unique culture\, from the beginning\, when no one got paid\, through multiple changes in ownership when the brand was worth millions\, all while adhering to the dubious philosophy of “fake news is real news.” You’ll hear about the near-fatal lawsuits\, potential jail time\, and fun interactions with stalkers\, mobsters\, and US presidents The Onion enjoyed along the way. Prepare for a session filled with grit\, wisdom\, and a few off-color anecdotes that prove—even in the world of satire—success in business is no joke. \n
