In this episode of Techish, Michael and Abadesi discuss the comments made by former Google CEO Eric Schmidt about Google being a laggard in AI due to being 'too soft'. They also talk about the culture of big tech companies and the perception that employees are not working as hard when they work from home. They touch on the importance of vision and hunger for success in driving innovation. The conversation then shifts to the labor law in the UK that prohibits bosses from contacting employees after work hours, and the debate around work-life balance and accessibility. They also discuss the reputation of musician Lauryn Hill and the challenges she faces with ticket sales and her perceived attitude towards fans.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Discussion of Eric Schmidt's Comments on Google's AI Progress02:24 The Flawed Culture of Productivity in Big Tech05:18 Challenges of Maintaining Hunger for Success as a Public Company08:21 The Implications of the UK's Labor Policy in a Startup Environment10:16 Balancing Boundaries and Flexibility in Work-Life Balance13:51 Introduction and Discussion of France's New Law19:29 The Complexities of Idolizing Celebrities: The Case of Lauryn Hill24:30 Gratitude and Respect: The Importance of Valuing Fans and Customers25:22 Setting Boundaries for a Healthy Work-Life BalanceThe Feminine Advantage: An Empowering Series for Women ConsultantsSix must-listen episodes that tackle key challenges for women entrepreneurs.Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify————————————————————Disclaimer: The information provided in this podcast episode represents the personal opinions and experiences of the presenters and is for informational and entertainment purposes only.
