Summary

There’s no love lost between the two American Airlines passengers in the viral video of a reclined airplane seat, but at Delta, there’s plenty of love in the air. CEO Ed Bastian discusses the $1.6B he’s giving back to his employees this Valentine’s Day, and he announces that Delta is going carbon neutral in March. Businessman, philanthropist, and Operation Hope CEO John Hope Bryant discusses serving underbanked communities and the future of capitalism. Co-founder of venture capital firm Greycroft Alan Patricof attended two Joe Biden fundraisers this week; he shares why he’s backing the Vice President and why Mayor Mike Bloomberg is implementing some smart strategies in his campaign for the White House. Plus, Microsoft’s $10 billion deal with the Pentagon has been put on hold, President Trump’s nominee for the Federal Reserve received mixed reviews, and Joe, Becky, and Andrew spread the love on set. Happy Valentine’s Day!
