Summary
This week, host Scott Galloway unpacks episode three, “Summer Camp,” with New Yorker staff writer, Lizzie Widdicombe. They discuss the misogynistic culture of WeWork, Rebekah's public assertion that “a big part of being a woman is helping men manifest their calling in life,” and how WeWork ultimately seemed more like a cult than a company. Plus, Scott shares his “Yoga babble moment of the week.” WeCrashed: The Companion Podcast is produced by Wondery, with support from Pineapple Street Studios.
