to call Charlie Kirk "productive and courageous" is like calling Hitler a man who knew how to get stuff done.
as a big fan of pivot and still processing, I do just want to say that this episode was agonizing to listen to. it was niche and at times borderline pretentious but most of all irrelevant to anyone other than the two people talking.

icant believe how overbearing this guest is. She constantly talks over Kara and asserts her POV as unmitigated truth. Ironic, considering her approach focuses on listening. Sorry Kara - let her :)
Something is wrong with the file is the message I get when trying to play it.
hey love how you two get along. Scott what is the best way to work with SSD and social services and help me get out of the system sustainable career in trade operations of boilers and chillers that run factories and hospitals etc I've enrolled in a class that will give me license to and understand the operations. what is for advice on how preceded thank you for hearing me have a great night Kara and Scott
Pro Israel? Scott, the IDF are the worlds biggest terrorist organisation...unless IDF bullets can only kill pre school terrorists. Israel as founded by terrorists who knew they were terrorists and wondered if the world would forgive them. Now the world worships at Israeli feet as the world's only true martyrs who can only kill in self defence, instead of the murderous damaged infants that they are.

Great podcast. https://buy-lipozem.com/
this podcast got really bad. Kara just insults tech leaders without any specifics. Scott has the occasional smart comment, but usually just says the same things over and over with different words. I'm bored of it
much need for https://www.malgotechnologies.com/polymarket-clone-script
