Thaddeus Gunn is a writer, a good one. He writes literary non-fiction, and tells jaw-dropping WTF stories that make you feel like you’re in a dank bar somewhere, drunk, and intently listening to every word. He draws from a colorful, and sometimes, troubled life - and puts it all down on paper in a unique and engaging way. This was a super fun talk, and I look forward to the projects he has in the hopper.
