The book Smart Brevity was written with Jim Van Daha and Roy Schwartz, the other two co-founders of Axios. The idea is that you can communicate more powerfully by thinking through what you want to say and thinking about the audience. "It even goes back to school where you're never assigned to come up with one great idea," he says.
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.
