Mike: What other media startups do you admire? Who do you think's doing a really good job? Scott: A punch bowl is killing it. They have the formula of like, know what your one thing is, be awesome at it, do better, do it better than anyone else. Mike: There's going to be a lot more of them, I suspect. The book is called Smart Gravity, the power of saying more with less. All right, Scott. One more quick break and we'll be back for wins and fails.
Kara and Scott are back together! They discuss the new power balance in Congress, how A.I. will and won't transform, and a potential ban on non-compete clauses. Plus, Jack Ma will give up control of Ant Group, and echoes of January 6th in Brazil. Today's Friend of Pivot is Mike Allen of Axios, who stops by to chat about his new book, “Smart Brevity: The Power of Saying More with Less,” and the changing landscape of the news business.
