February is American Heart Month, known as a critical time for bringing increased attention to cardiovascular health and the prevention of heart disease, which is the leading cause of death in the US. Women are particularly vulnerable to cardiac health threats spanning biological, clinical and healthcare system factors that contribute to underdiagnosis, delayed treatment, and worse outcomes compared to men.

Dr. Joy Gelbman, Associate Professor of Medicine at Weill Cornell Medicine as well as a board-certified cardiologist, is well-versed in the unique challenges facing women when it comes to their cardiac health. She breaks down specific sex-specific risk factors, differing disease presentation and pathophysiology, as well as the experience disparities in treatments and outcomes. Dr. Gelbman speaks with Carol Massar and Tim Stenovec on Bloomberg Businessweek Daily.

Jack Dorsey’s Block is cutting 4,000 employees, reducing its workforce by nearly half as the financial technology firm places a bet on artificial intelligence changing the future of labor productivity.

Block has been restructuring its business model and staffing since 2024 as the company’s stock has lagged. At the same time, the company has invested heavily in artificial intelligence tools to run more efficiently, including building its own tool called Goose.
The reduction in force, which was announced in a shareholder letter on Thursday, comes after rolling job eliminations that have often been tied to annual performance reviews.
The move by Block is the latest indication of the havoc that new AI tools are wreaking on the economy and financial markets.

In the shareholder letter, the company highlighted strong financial performance over 2025 including gross profit growth that more than doubled from the first quarter to the fourth quarter.

Dorsey, the company’s co-founder, touted how the company has reignited growth of users of its peer-to-peer payments app Cash App, scaled its lending products and accelerated Square gross payment volume. Block reported gross profit of $10.36 billion in 2025, up 17% year-over-year.

Today's show features:
Bloomberg News Fintech and Crypto Reporter Emily Mason on Block's massive staff cuts
Chris Miller, Professor of International History at The Fletcher School at Tufts University, on the geopolitical forces shaping the global ecosystem for semiconductors
Steven Dickens, CEO and Principal Analyst of HyperFRAME Research, with Nvidia earnings analysis and a lookahead to CoreWeave earnings after the bell
Bloomberg News National Security Reporter Jaime Tarabay on Hillary Clinton’s closed-door testimony related to her connections to the late Jeffrey Epstein, and allegations that the Department of Justice withheld some files in the Epstein case due to an abuse claim against President Trump

Jack Dorsey’s Block Slashes Nearly Half Its Staff in AI Bet

Nvidia Corp., the world’s most valuable company, gave another bullish quarterly revenue forecast, signaling that the massive build-out of AI computing remains on track.
Fiscal first-quarter sales will be about $78 billion, the chipmaker said in a statement Wednesday. That compares with an average Wall Street estimate of $72.8 billion, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

“Our customers are racing to invest in AI compute — the factories powering the AI industrial revolution and their future growth,” Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang said in the statement.
The outlook helped soothe concerns about a bubble in AI investments. Huang has repeatedly downplayed fears that the run-up in spending on artificial intelligence hardware isn’t sustainable. He argues that it will take years to replace the world’s installed base of older computers with machines that offer a leap forward in productivity.
But some investors had grown weary of that optimism and traded out of stocks like Nvidia. Wednesday’s report provides some evidence that near-term worries may be overblown.

Today's show features:
Bloomberg Tech Co-Host Ed Ludlow, and Jay Goldberg, Senior Analyst, Semiconductors & Electronics with Seaport Research Partners, break down Nvidia’s earnings report and outlook
Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Global Head of Technology Research Mandeep Singh reacts to quarterly earnings from Nvidia and Snowflake, and Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Technology Analyst Anurag Rana with analysis of earnings from Salesforce and the broader disruption to software companies amid concerns that AI will erode demand
Libby Cantrill, Managing Director and the head of public policy for PIMCO on market reverberations following President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address
Bloomberg News Miami Bureau Chief Dan Cancel on the report of Cuban forces killing four people who opened fire from a speedboat with Florida tags
