Meg Whitman Resigns. COP29 Climate Setback, South Africas Trapped Mines. Global Digest S05E07 by Capital FM

The US Ambassador to Kenya, Meg Whitman, resigned Wednesday, one week after Donald Trump's re-election. In a statement, Ambassador Whitman touted some of her achievements to include various trade, health and security agreements that Kenya signed with the United States, including Kenya's elevation as the first major non-NATO ally in Africa. Barrack Oduor, a political reporter with the People's Daily of Kenya, tells VOA's James Butty, Ambassador Whitman's resignation met a mixed reception on various Kenyan social media platforms for her good work, but also what some Kenyans saw as her failure to criticize President Ruto's government during the June anti-tax protests.

British tech tycoon Mike Lynch faced potentially dying in a federal prison.

In her nearly 25-year long career, Anita Gaeta has had two primary support relationships, each lasting over a decade, which suggests a lot not only about Anita's immense value to these executives, but also the depth and extent of her partnerships and the tremendous opportunities for learning and exchange Anita has had.

LET'S TALK: Melvin watched 10 shows on Quibi before its eventual (and predictable) collapse. First things first, Melvin asks Daniel what he thinks a show is about based on its marketing. Then, Melvin describes what it actually is. Afterward, Daniel curiously wonders, "How does this show being on Quibi improve the watching experience?". Throughout all of this, Melvin & Dan try to understand Quibi's failure to solidify its target demographic, and further complain about how Quibi never utilizes it's flip-screen feature for any interesting or creative reasons... until it does? By the end, Melvin & Daniel movie through a post-mortem of Quibi and discuss shows Melvin missed, what it's like to see media lost in real time, and whether or not Daniel feels the FOMO.Shows mentioned in this episode:Home Movie: The Princess BrideThe Fugitive (2020)Most Dangerous GameThe Stranger (2020)Wireless Support the showSupport on Patreon for Unique Perks!

LET'S TALK: Melvin guides Daniel through his Quibi-venture, an exploration of that weird, less-than-one-year-old mobile-only streaming service that came and went in 2020. From it's lead cheerleaders of Jeffrey Katzenberg and Meg Whitman, to how Quibi convinced nearly every production company in Hollywood to invest over $1.75 Billion, as well as those obscenely confusing and downright worthless advertising spots during the Superbowl, Melvin covers everything he can about Quibi's unfulfilled snake-oil promises alongside it's disappointingly awkward service, and ultimately it's quiet, unnoticed downfall.  Support the showSupport on Patreon for Unique Perks!

Throughout her impressive career leading businesses, nonprofits, and now as the U.S. Ambassador to Kenya, Meg Whitman has been driven by a simple question: "What are we going to do about it?" This relentless focus on action propelled her as she transformed eBay from a fledgling startup into a global e-commerce powerhouse and guided her as CEO navigating HP through a high-stakes corporate split.

Why is it that you can be the most successful woman in the world, but feel like a complete loser when you aren't the perfect mommy or housekeeper?

Intuit co-founder Scott Cook still remembers the first line of an email he received in 1994 from billg@microsoft.com: “This really is Bill Gates.” Intuit's personal finance product Quicken had survived being crushed by Microsoft Money, and its new accounting software Quickbooks was thriving as well; instead of competing, Gates wanted to buy Intuit for $1.5 billion and take it worldwide. A deal was struck, hands were shook, but there was just one problem: The U.S. Department of Justice.In this episode, Scott and Joubin discuss finding happiness in your career, who Scott aspired to emulate when he was a young CEO, recruiting for excellence, the radical decision to make Quicken easy to use, the power of paradigms, pulling out of the death spiral, the “oncoming train” of Microsoft, United States v.

PayPal Mafia - The Founders Story & Their Battle w/ EBAY w/ Jimmy Soni  - BRT S03 EP36 (135) 8-7-2022   What We Learned This Week PayPal Mafia – alumni created or involved many other co's – Tesla, SpaceX, Palantir, Yelp, Yammer, LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube & more PayPal had may contributors & a real long shot to happen during the DOTCOM Crash of 2000 Claude Shannon – creator of Information Theory, predecessor to the modern computer age, & algorithms Bell Labs was a classic Tech Incubator like Fairfield Semiconductor, Xerox Parc, Menlo Park – Edison / GE, Manhattan Project, Tuxedo Park PayPal sold to EBAY in 2002 for $1.5 Billion, prior to this, the two companies were rivals as EBAY wanted a different payment system         Guest: Jimmy Soni, Author https://jimmysoni.com/ https://twitter.com/jimmyasoni   https://www.linkedin.com/in/jimmysoni/ My books are passion projects. My topics come because I look for a book to buy on the subject and can't find one. I know it's supposed to be fancier than that, or that there must be some grand theory of my work, but there isn't one. That said, my readers seem to enjoy what I've written, so maybe it's fine? I am inspired by my literary heroes, including Robert Caro, Laura Hillenbrand, Candice Millard, Daniel James Brown, and Barbara Tuchman, among many others. They are all rigorous researchers—but reading their books doesn't feel like doing homework. That's what I'm going for, and hopefully I hit the mark a few times. For me, books are all-consuming projects, leaving little other time for the things that should populate this section like hobbies, interests, and even the ability to remain in basic touch with people. I enjoy obsessing over a subject for years, and my goal is to find as much information as possible and then make the material readable for a general audience.  When not writing or reading, I spend time with my daughter in Brooklyn, NY.  If you'd like to connect, please drop me a line at hello [@] jimmysoni.com.   https://jimmysoni.com/books/   The Founders: The Story of PayPal and the Entrepreneurs Who Shaped Silicon Valley A definitive, deeply reported look at the origin of PayPal and its founding team, including Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Reid Hoffman, Max Levchin, and others whose stories have never before been told.

Great paper theoretically and practically. Shannon created algorithm called sigsally. Imitation Game – WW2 bio movie about Alan Turing Shannon's work used for Gun torrents on Navy ships, target projectiles Bell Labs – math group that Shannon was a part of Famous Groups of Genius - Menlo Park – Edison/GE, Manhattan Project – Built the A Bomb Fairfield Semiconductor – predecessor to Intel and other Silicon Valley tech co's Bell Labs had money and started as R&D Dept. in Bell Telephone Bell Telephone ran all land lines in America, had a Fed guaranteed monopoly on the phone system Bell invented touch tone dialing, transistor, satellite tech, cell tech, communication networks We are all affected by Bell tech and inventions, modern age owes a solid to Bell Had big group of talent and could afford all of it, leading scientists of the time. During WW2 many major U.S. corporations – Bell, Ford were recruited by the US Government. War effort created urgency – math used to shoot down the enemy. The Founders – story of PayPal (2022) Dot Com burst created urgency to Pay Pal, bleeding money, had to survive. Dotcom crash – companies started 1 day, & BK out of business next day.

Post WW2 Bell Labs pressure decreased compared to PayPal. Bell Labs allowed free wheeling, could work on a project for 10 years. PayPal “mafia” Alumni – Yammer, YouTube, Slide, Yelp, Palantir, Tesla, Space X, LinkedIn, investers in FB Ghostbusters – safe jobs at universities vs real world, they want ‘results' Pet.com star of 2000, went BK end of 2000 with Superbowl Ad David Sachs – Palo Alto was “Killing Fields” of tech co's when, Dot coms go bust NASDAQ lost 80% of value in 2000 crash, Crypto Winter of 2022 is analogy Dotcom bust forced PayPal to create a real business and profitable transfer user to paying clients This in a time of infant internet, AOL mailed internet CD to potential customers PayPal doing credit card payments online 20 years ago with dial up internet MB recap of PayPal, 100 to 1 odds. Four year crazy time for PayPal and internet companies. Paypal survives, goes public IPO (2001) and is acquired by EBAY for $1.5 billion 2002. Still top payment system 20 years later, even owns Venmo, another big payment platform Spun off from EBAY (2015) as of 2022 - EBAY market cap $26 billion, PayPal market cap $112 billion Paypal grew email payments and reconcile payments, EBAY did not want to handle payments, clunky. Meg Whitman, (of HP) was running EBAY in 2002. Paypal lived in fear of her. No playbook to build Paypal or EBAY Raising funding, running business, recruiting talent is all hard, start business from scratch. Online payments was revolutionary Reid Hoffman – Dad and firefighter of PayPal had to broker EBAY / PayPal deal Max Levchin – engineer of PayPal – heart of company. Classic immigrant story – ambition and interest. Have to determine appropriate balance of user growth and fraud to keep business going David Sachs – cop, person who brings discipline to product design, Dr. No, must add value. Peter Thiel is a biz guy, raised money and ran PayPal Really smart people in the room, how to settle conflict when they disagree, often happened at PayPal Sales vs legal battle is a classic fued in business Internet was ‘wild west' in 2002, five years old with Section 230 David Sachs was the user ally, user experience ‘conscious' of PayPal Sachs appreciated the user experience and design just like Steve Jobs of Apple Elon Musk ran for X.com – was merged with Confinity (Thiel / Levchin) to be called PayPal (2000), both were trying to create online payments. PayPal was a product of Confinity. Reid Hoffman “Dad/Fireman' of PayPal, had to be the adult and fix problems Book process for Jimmy - 270 interviews over 6 ½ years to create and write book on PayPal. Lesson – Email a ton of people, many will respond So many people made significant contributions to PayPal. Huge cast of characters at the water cooler. Book is about business, tech, personalities. Sign up for EBAY, set up bank account, get 2 small deposits of 2 cents and code. Called Random Deposit system, micro deposits, created by Sanjay Bhargava Julie Anderson – X.com alum, came with Musk. Created Omaha customer service hub for PayPal, she was from Omaha, NE. PayPal still a large employer in NE Jack Selby – raised financing worldwide from Europe, Japan etc. Jack Malloy – early investor and VC in PayPal. Thiel raised $100 million right before DOTCOM bubble burst. PayPal paying money people to use PayPal and get users, cash burn rate Amy Kleiment – unsung hero of PayPal, she understands the Full Picture - resolves conflicts – saw how design went with Ops – Amy was Part Ops – historian – therapist Analogy of Shane Battier – Michael Lewis article (No Stats All Star) on former Duke player, whatever NBA Team he goes to, they win, Battier is the glue of the team. Big strategic decisions matter and that's what is written about. The Interesting problem solving and execution to start and grow a company is often not done by CEO (who gets credit), but by unsung hero no one knows about. Lots of people are involved to build a business. Jimmy does not have tech background. Wrote a history of PayPal and the stories Greg Kouri created Zip2 with Elon Musk and his brother Kimbal Musk, their first company sold for $307 million in 1999 to Compaq database/software company. Musk reinvested the $ in X.com Epilogue – PayPal Mafia affected and inspired tech startups worldwide Chris Wilson taught PayPal story in prison with Stephen Edwards in prison for murder in Baltimore, MD (think The Wire). They taught inspirational story of the entrepreneur. No ceiling on success, past does matter if you add value to others.           Tech Topic: https://brt-show.libsyn.com/category/Tech-Startup-VC-Cybersecurity-Energy-Science   Best of Tech: https://brt-show.libsyn.com/size/5/?search=best+of+tech     Investing Topic: https://brt-show.libsyn.com/category/Investing-Stocks-Bonds-Retirement     ‘Best Of' Topic: https://brt-show.libsyn.com/category/Best+of+BRT   Legal Topic: https://brt-show.libsyn.com/category/Legal-Asset+Protection-Estate+Planning     Thanks for Listening.

Jack Ma amène Alibaba au firmament. Dans cette 2e partie sur l'histoire de Jack Ma, Jack subit de plein fouet l'éclatement de la bulle internet en 2001… mais il n'est pas inquiet. Les fonds levés avec Softback et Masayoshi Son lui permettent de tenir. Mais surtout l'éclatement de la bulle terrasse la plupart de ses concurrents. Alibaba est alors concurrencé par eBay et Meg Whitman qui fait la pluie et le beau temps aux Etats-Unis. D'ailleurs après le B2B, Jack lance en secret un site B2C, Taobao. Succès immédiat. Mais eBay sous-estime Taobao qui reste gratuit et un site très chinois dans sa façon de faire du commerce. Quelques années plus tard, devant son échec, eBay propose de racheter Alibaba. Jack écarte l'offre. eBay se retire de Chine, vaincue. Jack fait alors rentrer Yahoo dans l'actionnariat contre un chèque de 1 milliard de dollars. Avec cet argent, la croissance d'Alibaba accélère. En 2014, c'est l'introduction en bourse d'Alibaba au Nasdaq. C'est un 1er couronnement pour Jack qui s'était pris des murs quelques années auparavant dans la Silicon Valley. Puis la filiale de paiement Alipay est au cœur d'une polémique entre Jack et les actionnaires d'Alibaba… mais finalement Jack et Joe Tsai finissent par assurer leur mainmise sur l'actionnariat. Pourtant en 2015, Jack commence à faire peur par son hégémonie au sein du gouvernement chinois. Il est d'abord rappelé à l'ordre par un régulateur (la SAIC) puis en 2020, il commet une “faute” irréparable en critiquant le système bancaire chinois. L'introduction en bourse d'Ant Group (qui regroupe Alipay) est alors annulée sur ordre du président chinois lui-même, Xi Jinping. Alibaba est sous le feu et poursuivi pour pratiques anti concurrentielles. Jack disparaît pendant 3 mois. Pour lui, les choses ne seront plus jamais pareilles.

College students looking to get into #InvestmentBanking, read below to see why I picked Investment Banking as a career out of college and why you should too. Investment Banking amplifies your career and gives you a leg up on what you want to do after your time in Investment Banking. . 1. I wanted deal experience. What does this mean? I wanted to work on M&A transactions, capital market activities (e.g., debt offerings & equity raises), understand how deals came together from the point of a seller, buyer, and creditors (I worked in restructuring). . 2. I wanted to develop a solid technical and soft skill set. Let's break these two down a bit more.   Technical Skill Set means the following (to me): Can you take a CIM, a 10-K, or a teaser and extrapolate the given data to create a 1-page write up on a deal or company that speaks to the merits of the deal (favorable or a negative). Further, can you leverage excel as a tool to complete an analysis (whatever it might be, e.g., accretion/dilution, LBO, DCF, forecasting analysis, etc.)   Soft Skill Set means the following (again, to me): can you take a blank PowerPoint and use it to convey a story to a buyer or seller to speak to why the transaction or investment is worthwhile, i.e., should we buy or sell or raise capital or divest an asset, etc. . 3. I knew I wanted to be an investor/operator as an "end state" for my career. As I researched the career of folks that I admire (e.g., Thomas Tull, John Malone, Ken Moelis, Josh Harris, Louis Bacon, Bob Iger, Neil & David Rimer, Meg Whitman, Deborah Farrington, Indra Nooyi), I realized most had backgrounds in either consulting/banking/buy-side), I knew that investment banking was the best place for me to go and start my career – get my feet wet and then go from there. . This exercise aims to further remove the noise from your day-to-day and remain focused on what matters – getting a job in Investment Banking. .

Finding an accountability buddy is a simple and highly effective way to keep yourself going. When you're struggling to achieve your personal or professional goals, do you ever wish you could speak with a famous mentor? If only you could connect with a super successful business leader like Jeff Bezos or Meg Whitman, then you'd have the answers you're looking for. Surely they'd point you in the right direction, right? Think again. You can read the NirAndFar blog post on: You Don't Need a Mentor.

The public failure of his start-up Quibi hasn't stopped Jeffrey Katzenberg from doubling down on tech. A Hollywood power broker, he headed up Disney in the 1980s and '90s and co-founded a rival studio, DreamWorks, before finding a puzzle he could not yet solve: getting people to pay for short-format content. Investors gave him and the former Hewlett-Packard C.E.O. and California gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman $1.75 billion to build a video platform, but not enough customers opened up their wallets, at $4.99 a month, and Quibi folded within a year of its launch. Katzenberg says the problems were product-market fit and the Covid pandemic, not competition from TikTok or YouTube.In this conversation, Kara Swisher and Katzenberg delve into Quibi's demise, the shifting power dynamics in Hollywood and his pivot to Silicon Valley. They also discuss his influence in another sphere: politics. And the former Hollywood executive, who co-chaired a fund-raiser to help fend off California's recent recall effort, offers some advice to Gov. Gavin Newsom.You can find transcripts (posted midday) and more information for all episodes at nytimes.com/sway, and you can find Kara on Twitter @karaswisher.

The big fluffy, leather chair interview is a staple of the tech world now. A big named executive (usually) comes up on the stage with a big name journalist and is interviewed in a “wide ranging” discussion. In addition to videos of these being broadcast, tech outlets often write summaries - news stories even - based on the interviews, and others sometimes post “lighted edited transcripts.” One of our favorite news sites, CRN, does this often. And while they do the sleazy thing of making 20-35 pages out of what should be a, at most, two page story, they're usually good interviews if you're into the the topic. Continuing a discussion we started in SDT #108,  we look at three of these interviews, giving us the chance to a close reading of the interviews themselves and talk about the format in general.The three interviews: (1.) Meg Whitman, HPE; (2.) Steve Singh, Docker; (3.) Pat Gelsinger, VMware. All of them, of course, are CEOs.See the more detailed show notes for more.

Meg Whitman, president and CEO of Hewlett Packard Enterprise, describes how she learned to lead companies big and small to success by adjusting to different environments, building on what a business does best, and approaching work with urgency and initiative. In conversation with Stanford Professor of the Practice Tina Seelig, Whitman recounts the explosive growth during her time as president and CEO of eBay, the challenging turnaround of storied tech giant HP, and her 2010 run for California governor that revealed deep political insights that still resonate.

Jill's Take on eBay Land Sales (CFFL 0060) Jack Butala: Jill's Take on eBay Land Sales. Every single month we give away a property for free. It's super simple to qualify. Two simple steps. Leave us your feedback for this podcast on iTunes and number two, get the free ebook at landacademy.com, you don't even have to read it. Thanks for listening. Jack Butala:                   Jack Butala here for Land Academy. Welcome to the Cash Flow from Land Show. In this episode, Jill and I talk about eBay: the good, the bad, and the ugly. Hey Jill, you know we've sold ... Hi. Jill DeWit:                            Hi. That's the name of a movie, right? The exact title? Jack Butala:                   It's a- Jill DeWit:                            Was that a western? Jack Butala:                   Yeah, it was a western. Jill DeWit:                            Okay, thank you. [crosstalk 00:00:19] Jack Butala:                   We've sold thousands of properties on eBay over the years, and I feel super qualified actually to discuss this topic. I bet we can actually have an informative show rather than just you and I bantering and venting about life. Jill DeWit:                            This is a good topic. This is a great topic and it comes up now and then. I even had a new member yesterday asking me if that's my number one thing. I thought, "Great question." It's not our number one. Once upon a time it was. I was going to talk about eBay then, eBay now, and the future of what I see with eBay. Jack Butala:                   Yeah. Let me give a little background first. This is how this all started. Jill DeWit:                            Mm-hmm (affirmative). Jack Butala:                   If you get the free e-book, I know I talk about it a little bit in the e-book. I know in the program all of chapter one is devoted to how this whole crazy thing started. I bought a piece of property on eBay from my coffee table a lot of years ago in 1999 I think and dressed it up, changed the maps, cleaned it all up, and sold it for twice as much. I said to myself, "There's something to this." We obviously made it into an institutional company. Jill DeWit:                            Mm-hmm (affirmative). Jack Butala:                   Times have changed and I still think it's a fantastic way to sell property and generate money really consistently. There's a little bit more work involved these days because customers seemed to have changed. Thousands and thousands of properties are sold, and we still sell property on there every month. Jill DeWit:                            That's the thing. Back then when eBay was new and exciting, that was the place. It's somewhere 15 million dollars ... I think it's between 15 and 16 million dollars- Jack Butala:                   Yeah. Jill DeWit:                            When you add up ... We have those two eBay accounts- Jack Butala:                   Yeah. Jill DeWit:                            That have completed sales. Jack Butala:                   We're the largest land seller on eBay for several years. Jill DeWit:                            Mm-hmm (affirmative). Jack Butala:                   I met ... Jill DeWit:                            Meg. Jack Butala:                   Meg Whitman, yeah. Jill DeWit:                            Yeah. Jack Butala:                   You get invited to this thing called ... I don't even remember what it's called. When you're a high-volume, high-dollar seller like that, you get invited to this special group. Jill DeWit:                            I wonder if they even do those anymore. Jack Butala:                   I'm sure they do. Jill DeWit:                            Do they? Okay. Jack Butala:                   This is how I summarize eBay, and then I'm going to turn it over to you. eBay is a great cash-flow mechanism. If you're short on cash and you own a bunch of property and y...
