Description

This week on Great Chat, we are getting personal. We share our stories of how we got into tech in the first place. The detours and the unexpected opportunities that defined our careers from covering IPOs to early days at Facebook and those long hours at Goldman. Also, is Hollywood starting to cosy up to AI? We talk about Netflix's flirtation with Runway. Plus Diamonds on our minds, and no, not all were about Coldplay and "a sky full of stars".

Mercury is back as the headline sponsor for season two! Mercury is a financial technology company, not a bank. Banking services provided through Choice Financial Group, Column N.A., and Evolve Bank & Trust; Members FDIC.
