Hello and welcome to Danny in the Valley, your weekly dispatch from behind the scenes and

inside the minds of the top people in tech. I am your host Danny Fortson. Thank you,

thank you for tuning in. So a couple quick housekeeping notes before we get started this week.

One, I just wanted to thank you guys, everyone, for listening last week.

I know it was obviously a bit of a different type of episode.

It was very short.

But I wanted to just say thank you to those of you who reached out to show your support.

I really appreciate it.

And if you're interested, I wrote a personal piece about mine and my family's experience through all these kind of protests in the wake of George Floyd's killing and kind of everything that's been happening here in America.

And when I say experience, it's more of just how we have experienced it.

We're all safe and sound, but it's, it's kind of struck us and struck me

in a particular way. And I wrote about that in the Sunday Times last weekend. So if you're

interested, have a read. It's pinned at the top of my Twitter feed, or you can search for it

on the Times website, though, to be fair. Our search function is a bit unpredictable, let's say. But anyhow, I do appreciate

your support and for listening. And we're going to kind of try to get back to normal service,

so to speak, this week, even though, of course, there's still a ton going on. But we're going to

bring a couple shows for you over the next

couple days.

So before we do that, I also wanted to spread some good news.

So Tales of Silicon Valley, our other docu series that I did last year, has been nominated

for not one, but two categories in the British podcast awards.

One is for the best business podcast, and the other is for smartest podcast. Yes, indeed.
