To the Top Office, & Beyond: Expedia CEO & “Life After Power” for U.S. Presidents 02/13/24

Expedia’s CEO says travelers are in a new era after post-pandemic revenge travel has faded. Peter Kern explains travel demand and his four years turning the travel company technology first, as he prepares to leave the C-suite in May. Author Jared Cohen has penned a new book; in “Life After Power,” Cohen examines the chapters after leadership for seven U.S. Presidents who explored new roles and more purpose after leaving the White House. Uber, Lyft, and Doordash drivers plan on striking this week, and thousands of flight attendants will also picket, both groups pushing for higher pay. Plus, viral (Berkshire Hathaway-owned) Squishmallows is suing a competitor, flight and CNBC’s Emily Wilkins reports that the Senate has passed a $95B bill that includes aid funding for Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan.
