Hello!

Hello!

And I'm here with Max Cho.

Thank you for having me.

Max, welcome and who are you?

Introduce yourself. I am a product manager at Google.

Previously I worked at a quantitative hedge fund called Two Sigma and I believe this is the

point where I'm obliged to tell you I'm don't speak for my employer here I am just talking for myself.

We are very exciting to have you because you're going to drop some science, drop some knowledge in this episode about chip fabs and why the shortage of chips in cars

is nothing to do with Taiwanese semiconductor shortages.

We are going to talk about obviously Boate

McBose or ever given or whatever the hell is going on in the sewers Canal and what

that means about supply chains more generally. We're going to talk about the latest media bloodbaths at

Medium and Mel magazine and places like that and the whole idea of tech

billionaires running news organizations.

We are going to talk about We Work,

which is amazingly going public.

Yes, it is going public as part of us back

at a $9 billion valuation.

And we're going to talk about what that means about the future of work

and whether people are going to start going back to the office. We have a slate

plus on Bitcoin. It's a great episode and it's all coming up on slate money.
