Cara and Scott take a look at some of the wins and fails in this week's PIVOT. Jason Priestley talks about his new book, Winter Sales All Amazon Walmart and the battle for our wallets. Peter Mumford explains why that Peregrine falcon went after seagulls when Hawks don't hunt that way. And we talk about how Silicon Valley Bank is still uniquely positioned to deliver specialized lending and financial solutions for innovators.
Breaking news: Kara Swisher will not referee the cage match between Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg. Also, SpaceX is looking to up its valuation, and Meta wants to shut down access to news in Canada. And this weekend’s insurrection in Russia revealed how unequipped social media is to cover breaking news. Plus, an investigation into the Titan submersible implosion may lead to new regulations. Will the same happen for space travel? Then we’re joined by Friend of Pivot, Jason Del Rey on the decades-long battle between Walmart and Amazon.
You can find Jason on Twitter at @DelRey, and you can buy “Winner Sells All: Amazon, Walmart, and the Battle for Our Wallets,” here.
