Episode notes

I don't think it was an indictment of stupid older man, I guess, like for falling for it. We didn't cover it at recode at all. It's just sort of like what's happening with that DX. What do you do if someone's just going to lie like that and try to buy influence? And then take advantage of FOMA around this could be the next big thing. If you lie enough, you can succeed until you don't, right? So I don't think that's a new fresh story about Silicon Valley.

In the 47th episode journalist and host of the Pivot podcast, Kara Swisher joins to discuss the changes in tech and founders from when she started vs today. Plus the art of interviewing, propaganda vs journalism, the importance of being true to yourself and not caring what people think.
