Welcome back to another episode of the Corporate Gossip Podcast.

This is a supersized episode, two episodes and one.

We cover Jack Welsh and GE.

Before we get started, I get to do my favorite thing, which is shout out everybody who bought us coffees this week.

We have Romaine Gevary and At Evan, PHX, in addition to two great friends of the pod, the Nora McInerney, and

Lauren Bryant Esquire. By the way, when you buy us a coffee, that money goes, of course,

to buy us coffees, but in addition to all of our subscriptions to various news outlets,

this podcast is fueled by research, which isn't possible without subscriptions to the New York

Times, the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg Seeking Alpha, among others.

And I get like 10 gifted articles a month that I can share. So if there's an article that we list in

our show notes or even something that you found in your own research that's behind

a paywall. Just shoot me an email at becca at nighttoast.com and I can probably get you a link.

And just a couple of reminders. A lot of people have been asking about the books that we read

to prepare for this podcast. We have a bookshop.org link in the show notes. So you can check that out.

I also added just some of my favorite books on there as well. And I also have a link in the show notes. You can check that out. I also added just some of my favorite books on

there as well. And I also have a link in the show notes for listener feedback. We want to make sure

that we're hearing from our listeners on what you want to see more of, what you want to see less

of. Thank you so much to everybody who has already provided some feedback. We are going to read

all of it and make sure that our next season is

the juiciest season yet. All right, here's the show.

The sun is setting on the Italian countryside as Jane and Jack Welsh stroll along the

cobblestone streets above the rocky beach.
