| 0:00.0 | Hey, everybody. Welcome back to another episode of this week in startups. Happy Tuesday, |
| 0:04.6 | the hardest part of the climb. Yes, but we're going to make it and we have big news. Apple |
| 0:09.4 | is has announced that they are returning to offices this time for real three days a |
| 0:14.2 | week in September, whether you want to go back or not. We're going to have a little |
| 0:18.4 | debate about this actually about the manager perspective, the worker perspective. But then |
| 0:23.6 | I think we do a really good job of broadening out and talking about what this means for |
| 0:27.3 | the future of work. You thought that was like the most boring topic that was totally |
| 0:30.5 | over at every conference, but it turns out just got a lot more interesting. And we're |
| 0:34.0 | going to talk about two trends over employed and quiet quitting. What are those two trends |
| 0:39.0 | and why do you need to know about them? Yeah, it's fascinating. And then we're going |
| 0:42.1 | to talk about meta and door-dash partnering on deliveries for Facebook marketplace and |
| 0:46.6 | my theory that marketplace is actually sneakily, quietly met as one of its most valuable assets. |
| 0:52.9 | Ah, and it's an inside job. We'll explain why. And it wouldn't be Tuesday without a J-trade |
| 0:58.2 | coming in. Big news on the Disney front and on the Stitch Fix front. Stick with us. It's |
| 1:03.1 | going to be a great show. This week in startups is brought to you by Squarespace. Turn your |
