In dieser Episode tauchen wir ein in eine wahre Geschichte von Uber, dem Technik-Giganten, und seinem früheren CEO Travis Kalanick. Was passiert, wenn Respekt an der Spitze fehlt? Du wirst Zeuge, wie ein Mangel an Respekt die Unternehmenskultur untergräbt und fast ein Technologie-Imperium zum Einsturz bringt. Wir schauen uns die berühmt-berüchtigte Uber-Fahrt an, in der Travis Kalanick, der damalige CEO, seinen Fahrer öffentlich beschämt und respektlos behandelt. Du erfährst, wie diese einzelne Nacht ein entscheidender Wendepunkt für Kalanick und Uber war und schließlich zu seinem Rücktritt führte. Ich werde den Einfluss von Respektlosigkeit auf die Unternehmenskultur und das allgemeine Geschäftsumfeld diskutieren und wie dies die Mitarbeiterleistung und -loyalität beeinflusst. Wir sprechen auch über die Bedeutung des Respekts in jeder Organisation, unabhängig von ihrer Größe oder ihrem Erfolg. Diese Geschichte ist nicht nur ein dramatisches Beispiel für Führungsversagen, sondern auch eine Lektion für uns alle. Respekt ist nicht optional - er ist ein grundlegender Baustein für jeden erfolgreichen Anführer und jedes erfolgreiche Unternehmen. Bist du bereit, diesen entscheidenden Faktor in deinem Führungsstil zu übernehmen? Dann hör rein. Es ist Zeit, die Kultur am Arbeitsplatz neu zu definieren. Hier ist der Link zum Workshop am 29.6.2023 um 19:30 Uhr, wie du eine Kultur des Respekts einführst https://elopage.com/s/mitarbeiterfuehren/Workshop-Respekt-einfuehren/payment

Parenting is legit the hardest job we'll ever do … and it's almost impossible to show up to parenting the way we want to if we're not prioritizing ourselves & our own wellness. But how do we do this in the midst of the busyness of raising kids?   In this week's episode, I talk with naturopathic medicine doctor and women's hormone expert Dr. Brooke Kalanick about how to figure out your priorities, how to balance parenting and other parts of your life, and how to know when your hormones are out of balance (it's easier than you might think!) and what to do about it.   Here's the thing: Taking care of ourselves IS taking care of our families, and in order to truly care for ourselves and our families, we have to take on some necessary stress. The key to living in balance is having an understanding of your priorities and knowing how to manage your stress in a healthy way – and in this episode, we talk about how to do just that.   FREE Mindset Shifts: https://www.raisedresilient.com/mindset   Connect with me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/raisedresilient/   Dr. Brooke's Podcast (The Dr. Brooke Show): https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dr-brooke-show/id1124755635   Get Your Copy of Hangry: https://www.amazon.com/Hangry-Simple-Balance-Hormones-Restore/dp/1250620732/

In November 2017, with Dara Khosrowshahi a few months into his job as Uber CEO, the ride-hailing company came to me with some explosive information: The company claimed that during Travis Kalanick's time as CEO, Uber had covered up a massive data breach. Hackers had downloaded sensitive information about Uber's riders and drivers, and the company's chief security officer, Joe Sullivan, had kept it under wraps by paying the hackers $100,000. Uber fired Sullivan and one of the company's lawyers. I published the exclusive story with the headline, Uber Paid Hackers to Delete Stolen Data on 57 Million People.Cyber security reporters have — for years — raised questions about the Khosrowshahi regime's story. Sullivan tried to frame the $100,000 payout as part of the company's white hat bug bounty program. And Sullivan's defenders argued that Kalanick era Uber's effort to conceal the payout — at a time when it was under investigation by the Federal Trade Commission over a prior data breach — looks even less anomalous today in a world where companies pay ransoms to hackers all the time. So I've watched the case closely over the years to see whether I'd been had. Had Khosrowshahi and crew whipped up a fake scandal? (I never quite understood why they would need to — Kalanick era Uber already had so many.)Over the years, the legal system has consistently validated Khosrowshahi era Uber's account. * In 2018, Uber reached a $148 million settlement with 50 states and the District of Columbia over its handling of the data breach. * In 2019, two men pleaded guilty to the Uber hack. * In 2020, the Justice Department indicted Sullivan, a former federal prosecutor, for his handling of the hack. * Finally, last week a jury found Sullivan guilty of both counts that prosecutors brought against him. (Those charges were obstruction of the Federal Trade Commission and misprision of a felony.) Still, parts of the cyber security world defended Sullivan's actions.Joseph Menn, the well-respected cyber security reporter for the Washington Post and author of Cult of the Dead Cow, recently quoted security experts raising concerns about the potential ramifications of the guilty verdict.Menn wrote,Most security professionals had been anticipating Sullivan's acquittal, noting that he had kept the CEO and others who were not charged informed of what was happening.“Personal liability for corporate decisions with executive stakeholder input is a new territory that's somewhat uncharted for security executives,” said Dave Shackleford, owner of Voodoo Security. “I fear it will lead to a lack of interest in our field, and increased skepticism about infosec overall.”John Johnson, a “virtual” chief information security officer for multiple companies, agreed. “Your company leadership could make choices that can have very personal repercussions to you and your lifestyle,” he said. “Not saying everything Joe did was right or perfect, but we can't bury our head and say it will never happen to us.”So Tom Dotan and I invited Menn onto the Dead Cat podcast to get his perspective on Sullivan's conviction. We also asked Menn about crypto currency hacks, Cult of the Dead Cow, and Twitter's whistleblower. Give it a listen.Read the automated transcript.

This is definitely an episode you're going to want to listen to. It's been a long time coming. It's a sequel of sorts to my interview with Bill Gurley that ran a few months after launching this newsletter and my conversation with Dara Khosrowshahi after that.I finally convinced Emil Michael, a central player in the Uber saga, to give me an on-the-record interview. Michael was once Travis Kalanick's top lieutenant. He raised about $15 billion for Uber during his nearly four years at the company. Finally, he came on Dead Cat to talk to Tom Dotan and me. It's been five years since Kalanick and Michael acrimoniously departed the company they helped build into a juggernaut. While Michael isn't Kalanick — who I would love to interview again someday — he was probably the second most important person at Uber during the period, understood the company and Kalanick intimately, and is a lot more willing to publicly reflect on what Uber got right and wrong than his old boss. We covered a lot of ground in our hour and a half long conversation. Michael didn't shy away from much. Whether you're interested in the inside baseball behind Kalanick's ouster, or if you want to learn from Uber's mistakes, or you just want to hear how they raised so much money, you're going to want to give this episode a listen.He talked about his infamous visit to a shady Korean karaoke bar that led former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder to recommend Michael's dismissal. (In my mind, probably the biggest unreported information from the Kalanick era is the Holder report itself. If anyone ever wants to leak it to me, you know where to find me.)We discussed the latest media Uber obsession — “The Uber files.” The Guardian and other outlets reported on Uber's influence campaign in Europe and the “kill switch.” It was a trip down memory lane that helped convince Michael to give his side of the story. Michael quipped about the “kill switch,” Uber's tactic of locking down computers ahead of government raids: “I do think one of the bad things we did at Uber was naming things terribly.”Michael inveighed against Benchmark partner Bill Gurley's crusade to push out Kalanick. But he also reminisced about how he and Gurley used to talk multiple times a day. Michael criticized current Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi's management of the company, today worth $44.2 billion — about a third less than when Michael helped the company raise at an approximately $70 billion valuation. “When does the buck stop at Dara's desk?” Michael asked us. But Michael also kicked himself for letting the merger with Lyft slip through his fingers. We talked about the media coverage of Uber past and present, what the press got right, and what it got wrong. But Michael also admitted that he'd never really figured out how to talk to the press. Together, we analyzed the Uber TV show, Super Pumped. Michael engaged with core questions about Uber's existence: Was the independent contractor model an inescapable original sin? Should investors ever have given Uber so much money? Was the Saudi round that valued Uber at about $70 billion a fair benchmark by which to judge Uber's current CEO? Given the many twists and turns of the Uber saga, there's always more I wish that we'd dug into. We could have dedicated a whole episode to the Susan Fowler saga, for instance. And for every scandal that we examined, there's another that we left out. Still, I think it's as in-depth a public reflection as there has been from Kalanick's camp since Kalanick resigned almost exactly five years ago.Toward the end of our conversation, I asked Michael: “Did you push back on Travis enough? Or did he like having people who are sort of like—”And he filled in the blank for me. Was he a “yes man”?Michael said, “I would at least say this on a relative basis: I did more than anyone else in history of giving him feedback. Whether it was investors or other leaders, whatever, because we had a relationship that allowed for that. And I cultivated that on purpose because I wanted to be someone who is able to be a counter voice there. And he listened to me.”Give it a listen.Read the automated transcript.

Avec Super Pumped, Brian Koppelman et David Levien (Billions) souhaitent créer une anthologie autour des figures du monde du business. La première saison est adaptée du livre de Mike Isaac sur Uber. La prochaine est censée tourner autour de Facebook sans être une copie de The Social Network toujours basée sur une non-fiction de Mike Isaac. Le terme d'uberisation symbolise le mal de notre société de consommation alors pourquoi ne pas s'intéresser la personne et à la marque qui ont créé ce concept ? Derrière Uber, il y a Travis Kalanick, un jeune entrepreneur dont la légende raconte qu'en déplacement à Paris, marre d'attendre son taxi, il a imaginé un service de véhicules qui viendrait le chercher là où il le voudrait à n'importe quel moment de la journée ou de la nuit. Et ainsi est né Uber. La saison démarre sur Canal+ dès le 2 juin et sera disponible directement sur myCanal. https://youtu.be/fKX6_LPLXBM Son idole : Mark Zuckerberg. Travis Kalanick veut révolutionner le monde et en créant Uber il a posé une pierre à l'édifice en faisant de sa société l'une des premières licornes avant son entrée en bourse : une start-up valorisée à plus d'un milliard de dollars. Et dès le début de la série on comprend que le Travis, il en veut. Joseph Gordon-Levitt lui transmet son énergie sans faille et il est difficile de ne pas croire à son projet. Surtout quand l'histoire est narrée par nul autre que Quentin Tarantino avec une voix très reconnaissable. Autour de ce jeune patron sans foi ni loi, mû par l'innovation et la réussite, ses fidèles associés aveuglés par l'argent qu'ils se font ainsi que par le charisme de Kalanick, prêts à garder les yeux fermés sur des problèmes persistants au sein de leur entreprise à l'environnement toxique. Kyle Chandler fait aussi de la partie pour faire figure d'investisseur cupide mais avec un sens moral tout de même, ainsi qu'Uma Thurman qui n'a pour le coup aucune morale. La série reste cohérente tout du long en suivant le point de vue de son personnage principal qui va chuter de très haut. Rythmée par les scandales réguliers qu'a connus Uber, Super Pumped réussit à dépeindre un portrait d'un grand garçon immature qui colle au cliché des entrepreneurs misogynes. Une bonne idée ne veut pas dire que l'exécution sera bonne malheureusement. Tout comme les fondateurs de WeWork pointés du doigt dans WeCrashed ou encore la criminelle de The Dropout, l'Histoire retiendra le nom de leurs entreprises associés à leurs échecs personnels sur le plan humain. [bs_show url="super-pumped"] Pour explorer plus ce sujet, un documentaire de France 5 toujours en replay avait également décortiqué les problèmes de l'entreprise. Aujourd'hui, la société a beau être plus respectueuse du droit du travail surtout en France, le manque de chauffeurs se fait ressentir. Super Pumped démarre le 2 juin sur Canal+ pour sept épisodes.

On the Dead Cat podcast, Tom Dotan, Katie Benner, and I talk about Apple’s WeCrashed, Hulu’s The Dropout, and SHOWTIME’s Super Pumped — the TV shows about Adam Neumann, Elizabeth Holmes, and Travis Kalanick respectively. (Spoilers: If you believe that real events that have already transpired can be spoiled.)This morning, I emailed Fawzi Kamel, the Uber driver whose confrontation with then-Uber CEO Travis Kalanick went viral when I published it at Bloomberg. The video captures Kalanick — at the peak of the scrutiny around his leadership — telling Kamel, “Some people don’t like to take responsibility for their own s**t. They blame everything in their life on somebody else. Good luck!”I wanted to catch up with Kamel to see if he had seen himself on TV. He’s a character in the SHOWTIME television series Super Pumped, played by actor Mousa Hussein Kraish.Kamel called me back: He hadn’t watched the show. The fictional version of Kamel gets rid of his car, consults with a lawyer and his wife, and then posts the video online. The real world Fawzi Kamel was far bolder.Kamel was still driving for Uber when he sent me an email with the subject line “About uber.” He wrote me from his iPhone on Feb. 22, 2017: I started driving for uber in 2011So I know the company from the beginning and I can introduce you to drivers who started in 2010 under Ryan grave . We all know the dirty uber thief .Last Sunday , I picked up Travis and I told him that non of the drivers trust him  anymore . Cause he  cheated the drivers who promoted his  idea at the beginning and made him  who he  is  todayHe got mad and slammed my car doorThe point I'm trying to make is the answer of uber CEO after I told him that I Bankrupt because of him  . Didn't seem as an answer of a CEOAnyway , I have all this in video , be my guest to see itI just want it to go viral , cause the CEO is an a*****e arrogant peace a shitThank youFawzi kamelI replied 13 minutes later with only four words: “Send me the video!”After some emails back and forth, Kamel sent me the video under the condition that I couldn’t publish it without his permission. (Unlike on TV, he hadn’t consulted a lawyer and wasn’t married.) I watched it and knew that the video would captivate a world obsessed with Uber’s brash CEO.I spent the next couple of days trying to convince Kamel to let me publish the video at Bloomberg, where I was covering the Uber beat. Kamel was a hard man to reach — in large part because he was still driving for Uber to earn a living. Eventually, Kamel gave me the greenlight — even though Bloomberg couldn’t pay him for the video. It went viral almost immediately. Kamel told me over the phone this morning that I was the only reporter who had replied to his message about the video. I learned this morning that the dashcam video that he’d recorded wasn’t actually stored on his camera. So he’d had to go pay a company $60 for access to the video after a friend of his convinced him that it was worth the trouble.Ultimately, Kalanick and Kamel sat down, and Kalanick paid him $200,000 as a make-good. The money helped Kamel pay off some of his debts.Kamel is clear about one thing: He’s not driving for Uber anymore. “I will never drive again,” he says.I offered to share my SHOWTIME password with him, but he didn’t seem interested.Instead, I sent Kamel a cell phone video of the Super Pumped episode, so Kamel could at least watch a recording of another man acting out a recording of himself. These days, Kamel says he’s spending his time buying and selling stocks on Robinhood. He doesn’t hold that company in particularly high regard.Kamel has actually softened his tone on Kalanick.“Travis is actually someone — if you confront him — he’s a very good guy to talk to,” Kamel says.“Firing Travis was a big mistake because if they didn’t fire him, Uber could be way more today,” Kamel says. “That’s all I know.” Get full access to Newcomer at www.newcomer.co/subscribe

On the Dead Cat podcast, Tom Dotan, Katie Benner, and I talk about Apple's WeCrashed, Hulu's The Dropout, and SHOWTIME's Super Pumped — the TV shows about Adam Neumann, Elizabeth Holmes, and Travis Kalanick respectively. (Spoilers: If you believe that real events that have already transpired can be spoiled.)This morning, I emailed Fawzi Kamel, the Uber driver whose confrontation with then-Uber CEO Travis Kalanick went viral when I published it at Bloomberg. The video captures Kalanick — at the peak of the scrutiny around his leadership — telling Kamel, “Some people don't like to take responsibility for their own s**t. They blame everything in their life on somebody else. Good luck!”I wanted to catch up with Kamel to see if he had seen himself on TV. He's a character in the SHOWTIME television series Super Pumped, played by actor Mousa Hussein Kraish.Kamel called me back: He hadn't watched the show. The fictional version of Kamel gets rid of his car, consults with a lawyer and his wife, and then posts the video online. The real world Fawzi Kamel was far bolder.Kamel was still driving for Uber when he sent me an email with the subject line “About uber.” He wrote me from his iPhone on Feb. 22, 2017: I started driving for uber in 2011So I know the company from the beginning and I can introduce you to drivers who started in 2010 under Ryan grave .

[This episode was originally released on October 16, 2019. We are re-releasing it in anticipation of the premiere on Showtime of the original dramatic series based on Mike Isaac's book. More new episodes are on the way!] For a few years after Uber launched in 2009, it seemed like the on-demand ride-hailing service might be an advance in the war on cars — a way for more people to share fewer vehicles and to reduce overall automobile dependence. Fast forward a decade, and the rise of Uber (along with Lyft) has instead resulted in increased congestion, reductions in transit ridership, and the exploitation of a precarious workforce that the company would love to make obsolete altogether. In this episode, we talk with New York Times tech reporter Mike Isaac about his new book, “Super Pumped: The Battle for Uber,” in which he chronicles the rise and fall of Uber's co-founder, Travis Kalanick. We hear what Mike has to say about the cult of the founder and the way Kalanick's winner-take-all mentality has negatively affected the streets of the world's cities.

“That was a really, really low point for someone who should've known better. I was a hormone expert, and I completely destroyed my hormones,” shares Dr. Brooke Kalanick, licensed naturopathic doctor, author, and host of popular podcast, The Dr. Brooke Show. As someone who suffers from PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) herself, Brooke specializes in helping women identify the root cause of their hormone imbalances and get back to feeling better with targeted diet and lifestyle changes. On today's episode, Brooke discusses her personal burnout story and how it continues to inform her day-to-day life.   Several factors contributed to the height of Brooke's burnout. On the one hand, she was co-authoring a book about fat loss, which prompted her to enter into a damaging and dysfunctional diet and exercise cycle. Combined with a jarring personal attack in an Amazon review and an untimely injury, Brooke suddenly found herself losing the sense of balance she had worked so hard to build. Today, Brooke explains to listeners how she overcame her burnout and gained a newfound sense of authenticity and self-awareness in the process.   Tune into today's episode of FRIED. The Burnout Podcast for a conversation with Dr. Brooke Kalanick about the impacts of stress, particularly on women's hormones, and how hormone disturbances can lead to significant health issues in all areas of the body. Hear Dr. Brooke's story of facing her greatest fear head on and coming out on the other side better for it.    Quotes • “That was a really really low point for someone who should've known better. Right? I was a hormone expert and I completely destroyed my hormones.” (06:10-06:16) • “When you have some sort of other diagnosis, there is more stuff for your body to get back to homeostasis. There's more stuff going on. I think with the wellness world, and the sound bytes on social media, and the way functional medicine is talked about, we're always after the root cause. Which in theory is great. But if you're in a place where you're burnt out, you've gone through all this stuff, time has gone on, you've ignored symptoms for a long time. You don't have one root cause. Your digestion is a mess, your nutrients are a mess, you've probably got some really key nutrients that are off, you've got inflammation, oxidative stress. You might have tripped an autoimmune thyroid condition, now you've got a gut infection, there's so many things. I think we've done a disservice to women especially when you come in and you're like, ‘I'm gonna get to your one root cause.' And then we find one thing and we work on it and they're like, ‘Well I'm not totally better yet.' It's really more like taking one of your favorite sweaters and pulling on a thread on it, it's going to take a lot to undo the whole web and to pull it all apart.” (11:45-12:51)  • “There's some real value in facing your biggest fear and then having to look at like why on earth was that my biggest fear?” (17:48-17:54) • “For me, I had certain values going into that first experience and they were more recognition, more money, more success, all of these things. I very much have different goals now. Obviously being a mother was something that changed…there was I think a place for me to rein myself in better.” (26:19-26:46) • “I think I learned the hard way that it's better to just share my pain and my experience and hope that less people will think I'm perfect and more people will feel like, ‘Oh, she understands me.'” (27:37-27:47) • “Things are stressful, because you care about them. For better or for worse, whether it's being driven by an insecurity or you actually love your child or your husband or your family, you wouldn't be stressed out if you didn't care. So, I think the first thing to recognize is that it's okay that you're stressed….Now are you going to deal with it?” (29:11-29:30)   Links www.betterbydrbrooke.com  www.instagram.com/betterbydrbrooke  https://www.linkedin.com/in/brookekalanick/  https://betterbydrbrooke.com/5-pillars-opt-in/    https://caitdonovan.com/freebie-values    XOXO, C   If you know that it's time to actually DO something about the burnout cycle you've been in for too long - book your free consult today: bit.ly/callcait   Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

Welcome to Majority.FM's AM QUICKIE! Brought to you by justcoffee.coop TODAY'S HEADLINES: Scientists and federal experts predict a long, brutal winter of coronavirus devastation, even with a vaccine on the horizon. On the bright side, Trump’s chief stooge on the coronavirus task force, Dr. Scott Atlas, has finally resigned. Meanwhile, a new report by NBC News shows that Uber’s predatory, gig-economy policies wreaked havoc on a generation of struggling working-class drivers in Kenya, using the same cut-throat tactics they perfected in the U.S. And lastly, new research shows that evictions massively exacerbated the pandemic, contributing to as many as 10,000 preventable deaths. THESE ARE THE STORIES YOU NEED TO KNOW: The holiday season is going to be a mess. After Thanksgiving, the nations doctors and disease experts are predicting a grim, overwhelming surge in coronavirus cases and hospitalizations, which might not let up until we finally have a vaccine. The numbers are staggering: we’re now at about a million new cases a week, and some epidemiologists think we could double the current 250,000 person death toll by March. Hospitals are overwhelmed: in California, Governor Newsom warned that the state’s ICU beds could be full by the middle of December, particularly in hard-hit areas like the central valley. In New York, meanwhile, Governor Andrew Cuomo fears a similar fate as New York City and other areas of the state weather yet another surge. Cuomo said as well that hospital space is the metric we should be paying attention to, even more so than the positive test rate in a given area. It’s an absolute travesty we even have to do this kind of math, but that’s where we’re at. The one good sign is that Scott Atlas, Trump’s go-to liar on the coronavirus task force, has formally resigned from his temporary post in the government. Atlas was the driving force behind the Trump administration’s downplaying of the virus and encouragement of misinformation. Also, there is a vaccine on the horizon. Moderna’s first shots could be given out as early as December 21, but that will only be to a small sliver of the population. Until everyone gets them, we’re in for a rough winter. Stay home if you can, and take care when you can’t. Uber Wreaks Havoc on Nigerian Drivers We’ve known that Uber was a soulless, predatory company for years now, since the drama back in 2017 with ex-CEO Travis Kalanick’s pursuit of market domination by any means, legal or illegal. But some of the tactics that Kalanick’s cutthroats perfected are now having ripple effects across the world. A new investigation by NBC news shows one of those case, in Nairobi, Kenya, where the company lured in massive influx of labor and then did everything they could to undercut their new drivers’ profits. In one case, NBC describes how Uber originally forced drivers to use larger, more expensive four-door cars. Then after many were locked into leases, they slashed the rates and started allowing smaller compacts to use the service, effectively undercutting everyone who was driving for the app before the change. This sent many drivers into a spiral of debt that their dwindling fares couldn’t keep up with, all because they were trying to play by the company’s rules. Uber employs over 12,000 drivers in Kenya, many of them in the capitol of Nairobi. NBC spoke to over 80 of them, and every one said they were struggling to make ends meet. This isn’t new: In 2017, Uber had to pay the U.S. Federal Trade Commission $20 million to resolve the fact that it exaggerated the amount drivers could earn and provided incorrect vehicle financing information to its workers. This is the exact same thing, just in a country with less regulatory protections and an even larger workforce of vulnerable people. There’s little to stop them taking this predatory capitalism show on the road all over the world. Study Shows Evictions Cost Lives We now have solid evidence that the government’s failure to ensure a nationwide eviction moratorium cost lives during the pandemic. A new study by Wake Forest University found that the premature expiration of state eviction bans led to more than 433,000 excess Covid-19 cases and 10,700 preventable deaths in the United States between March and September. The study specifically focused on the spread of the disease and its relationship to evictions in that period because it was before Trump’s loophole-filled CDC order barring evictions went into place. The CDC order provided some measure of relief, but if you remember a couple weeks back we discussed how some corporate landlords bypassed it by just not telling their tenants that they could stop their evictions by citing hardship from the pandemic. And before this system went into place, statewide eviction moratoriums often expired. After controlling for a bunch of other factors like mask mandates and other social restrictions, the researchers found that lifting eviction moratoriums were associated with significant increases in coronavirus infections and deaths. We’ll of course need further research on the matter, but what this says is that history will not look kindly on the people who failed to protect their constituents from this pandemic. AND NOW FOR SOME QUICKER QUICKIES: After pushing to go ahead with federal executions even through the lame-duck period, the Trump administration is now seeking for even more ways to kill people: this time entering a change in the federal record that would let executions be carried out by firing squad. It goes into effect on December 24, which means there’s a non-zero chance Trump could actually use one to execute someone before he leaves office. Ajit Pai, the former Verizon lawyer turned FCC Chair, will leave his seat on January 20, which should give the Biden administration a chance to undo some of the destruction he wrought in that seat. It won’t turn back the massive Sprint/TMobile monopoly, but it should give net neutrality advocates some light at the end of the tunnel. In oral arguments on Monday, the Supreme Court did not seem immediately disposed to let the Trump administration exclude undocumented immigrants from the numbers that allocate House seats, a move the GOP desperately wants as it would drastically shift the balance of power their way. Per the New York Times, various justices were skeptical and confused by the Trump administration’s legal argument. Arizona joined Wisconsin on Monday and finalized its vote count for the 2020 election, checking off basically the last box to make the election results earlier this month final. Still 50 days until Trump leaves office though, so we’ll see how it goes!

“Innovation—any new idea—by definition, will not be accepted at first. It takes repeated attempts, endless demonstrations, monotonous rehearsals before innovation can be accepted and internalized by an organization. This requires courageous patience.” —Warren BennisWe have been talking about blockchain, cryptocurrency and their innovative applications and until now we never spoke in detail about them. Yes, we know that blockchain is a digital ledger that stores data. It seems complicated, and it can be, but believe me, its core concept is quite simple. A blockchain is a type of database. And to be able to understand blockchain, you first need to understand what a database is. On the other side, we hear many times about digital currency, cryptocurrency, regulations, CBDC. Cryptocurrency is an internet-based medium of exchange which uses cryptographical functions to conduct financial transactions. Cryptocurrencies uses or incorporates blockchain technology to gain decentralization, transparency, and immutability – the 3  core principles of cryptocurrency. I am sure now that many of you driven from curiosity and eagerness to learn, might take a step forward and ask further questions to learn more,  but unfortunately on the other side, many of you might take a step back and do not even try to get to know what I am talking about, for the only reason that it sound complicated! But in the time that we live in, in the era of technology and internet, all your questions can be answered, by simply google it, and in the era of knowledgeable people, of real experts, innovation and simplicity become your best friends.“Innovation comes from saying NO to 1000 things. “- S.

Variety has off-the-record sources that are totally not us reporting that Oprah and Tom Hanks are in a bidding war to buy the rights to the show for upwards of $220 million. The ball is in your court, Spotify. This week: direct democracy, accidental Kalanick, and Quibi we hardly knew ye.

Uber and Lyft have made their mark as very different brands.Lyft was born out of a need for more environmentally friendly rideshare options. And is also seen as the “friendlier” of the two companies. While Uber’s former CEO, Travis Kalanick built a reputation for ruthlessness, sexual harassment and “bro culture.”Still, both companies have seen protests from their drivers, who’ve demanded benefits and better pay for countless hours spent on the road. So how much has Uber and Lyft’s company culture affected their business up until now? And what will the future hold for these tech giants?For some answers, we hear from New York Times Technology Reporter Mike Isaac. Isaac is also the author of the book, “Super PUMPED: The Battle for Uber.” He’ll talk about his reporting on Kalanick, Uber and how company culture at Uber and Lyft matters, now more than ever, to consumers.

February 2017, Super Bowl Sunday. Uber CEO Travis Kalanick is taking a black car home when he gets in an altercation with the driver. LIttle does he know, the entire exchange has been captured on a dashcam recording. And when it goes viral, Kalanick will have to fight for his reputation — and his job. Lyft, meanwhile, spies an opening. As sexual harassment scandals plague their rival and users move to #DeleteUber, John Zimmer and Logan Green finally have a chance to really capitalize on their “good guy” reputation.

It’s December 2008, and two friends and fellow tech entrepreneurs, Garrett Camp and Travis Kalanick, can't get a taxi. Camp’s already obsessed with the idea of a service that summons a private driver with the push of a button, but now Kalanick gets the appeal. Together, they'll build Uber, and do whatever it takes to reign supreme. Meanwhile, recent college grads John Zimmer and Logan Green channel their shared passion for the environment into the creation of a carpooling startup for long rides. But pretty quickly, they realize they need to service short trips, too, and Lyft is born. But in order to succeed, they have to convince people to jump in a car with a complete stranger. And, they’ll have to go up against Uber in a battle for ridesharing supremacy. Listen ad-free on Wondery+ here

Welcome back everyone. This episode ended up orbiting around the idea of being suspended in a universe beyond time and causality. It’ll make sense in context. The podcast is on a monthly schedule now, in case you’ve been wondering where this episode is. Life events have conspired to prevent us from doing more than that, at least for now. In the news this week: Michael Bloomberg, Michael Milken, and the return of the return of the son of the Business Roundtable. (20:45) Our first billionaire is Steve Wynn, a Vegas mogul, alleged sex pest, and former finance chair of the RNC. Somehow we end up talking about the ideological function of gambling, seduction, and the end of the world. 8/10 on the David Koch Memorial Asset Liquidation Index (45:45) Second billionaire: Travis Kalanick. The Uber guy. Chad tries to feel his way into the Kalanick mindset by reading through his Principles of Work. We come to the conclusion that all of the magazine profiles that called Kalanick a douchebag were pretty on the money in their assessment of his character. 7/10 on the David Koch Memorial Asset Liquidation Index What a weird episode—two already-famous billionaires is a first.

Digital #10Booking.com abandons scarcity marketing: from June 2020 (the latest), the OTA will have to stop showing messages such as “only one room like this left,” “other persons showed interest in this hotel in the last 24 hours”, “the room is popular,” or “time-limited offer”. The European Commission and National Consumer Protection, in fact, identified these techniques as “manipulative”.Digital #9Meanwhile, in Russia, the Federal Anti-monopoly Service found Booking.com to be in breach of Russian anti-monopoly laws (a crime punishable with fines from 1% to 15% of the revenue generated in the Country). The reason? Booking.com seems to have asked hotels to offer the same rates on competitor hotel reservation websites.Digital #8Uber co-Founder (and former CEO), Travis Kalanick, resigned. After the New York Times accused Kalanick (that, once wrote: “for the first time in my life I was leading an organization that wasn’t on the brink of failure each day”) of deceiving regulators in 2017, Expedia’s Dara Khosrowshahi took over the CEO position. Kalanick sold all of his stocks in Uber, and he has now, officially, nothing tying him up to the carsharing app. The market, according to the stock, didn’t seem to care.Digital #7Google confirmed a local search algorithm update. According to Third Door Media co-Founder, Danny Sullivan, the update is separated from the recent BERT update. If you’re (still) not optimizing your GMB listing, now you have another reason not to procrastinate.Digital #6AI-powered flight assistant bot, Eddy Travels, completed a $500,000 pre-seed round. The startup offers in-chat flight deals on, amongst others, WhatsApp, Telegram, and Slack. CEO and co-Founder, Edmundas Balčikonis, (unsurprisingly) played the super-app card: “We want to expand into other products (…) into tours and activities, expand into travel insurance and other categories.”Digital #5OYO will fire 2,000 employees by the end of the month. The company is known for his inclination to automatize processes whenever possible, so this may not necessarily be a bad omen. More alarming, however, is another rumor: owners are complaining that they are not being paid by the Indian unicorn, with due invoices dating as far as May 2019…Digital #4The Information Commissioner’s Office stated that Marriott had “agreed to an extension of the regulatory process” (for the infamous Starwood data breach) “until 31 March 2020,” and there is speculation the original $123M fine will be drastically reduced.Digital #3According to Skift, U.S. hotels increased National TV ad investments by a striking 32%, with Marriott alone increasing its spend by over $50M. Is this part of the design to be less Google-dependent? With Hilton putting $103M in the old school media, and Marriott echoing with $90M, the question is legitimate. When it comes to predicting the future, however, I tend to trust airlines better than hotels: and, in 2019, they cut TV investments by 47%…Digital #2According to Lindy Andersen, director of global accounts at Expedia Group, artificial intelligence can “alleviate stressors and drive better efficiencies of our entire platform.” The statement was given during a recent EyeForTravel webinar titled Customer experience lab: automation, partnerships and the human touch. According to Andersen, creating a “frictionless travel” experience will be one of the main focuses of Expedia in 2020.Digital #1Not strictly travel-related, but another step to ASI (and to a cancer-free world) has been made: Google’s health research department has developed an AI system that can outperform radiologists at detecting breast cancer. The system was trained by data coming from thousands of mammograms. On the more sci-fi side of the spectrum, Samsung unveiled its artificial humans (or glorified video chatbots, to be more realistic), called Neons.

For a few years after Uber launched in 2009, it seemed like the on-demand ride-hailing service might be an advance in the war on cars — a way for more people to share fewer vehicles and to reduce overall automobile dependence. Fast forward a decade, and the rise of Uber (along with Lyft) has instead resulted in increased congestion, reductions in transit ridership, and the exploitation of a precarious workforce that the company would love to make obsolete altogether. In this episode, we talk with New York Times tech reporter Mike Isaac about his new book, “Super Pumped: The Battle for Uber,” in which he chronicles the rise and fall of Uber's co-founder, Travis Kalanick. We hear what Mike has to say about the cult of the founder and the way Kalanick's winner-take-all mentality has negatively affected the streets of the world's cities. Support the podcast on Patreon.

Travis Kalanick, Uber's founder and former CEO, wasn't gone very long. After he resigned from Uber in June 2017, Kalanick spent time hobnobbing at elite conferences like Davos and getting good at smartphone games. This month, he announced 10100, a fund for his personal investments. On Tuesday Kalanick elaborated on his plans: 10100 acquired a controlling stake in City Storage Systems, a holding company which invests in distressed real estate assets, for $150 million.

Pharmacist turned naturopathic doctor Brooke Kalanick uses the best of both natural and conventional methods to treat women with PCOS, Hashimoto’s hypothyroidism, perimenopause, menopause, and other female hormone imbalances. Dr. Brooke works to find the root cause of these troubling conditions. Her practice takes a holistic approach to reset hormones, heads, and habits so women …

Have you heard? Uber is hiring. CEO Travis Kalanick wants a chief operating officer. Heapparently came to this decision in the midst of the company's worst PR crisis yet. Accusations of a misogynistic company culture,aGoogle lawsuit, and allegations that it misled regulators with phantom rides leave the company in an almost permanent state of damage control.Hiring a COO almost certainly is Kalanick's attempt to show that he, and his company, can grow up.
