As soon as she hit Silicon Valley 25 years ago, veteran journalist and entrepreneur Kara Swisher rolled up her sleeves and got to work. She knows, and has taken to task, every tech titan: Jobs, Bezos, Musk, all the Marks (Benioff, Cuban, Zuckerberg), and also Vice President Kamala Harris, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and so many more. How did she get here? In short: through confidence, decisiveness, and being unapologetically herself. Laurie and Kara talk through the personal qualities every CEO needs for maximum impact and success. They also discuss Kara’s 2024 memoir, Burn Book: A Tech Love Story, and walk through the key inflection points in Kara’s singular career.
