pickVery insightful look at the tech oligarchs. An intelligent, creative, but largely an emotionally immature lot. She follows their careers and social rise from the earliest Silicon Valley days to present day. I was left with great respect for some and loathing resignation for others. A valuable read for the time we are in.
pickI received this book as a gag gift ages ago, but I actually didn‘t hate it. Some of it definitely didn‘t age well (her successful partnership with K-Mart, her praise of Diddy and Jared from Subway, and her friendship with a certain someone whose name I refuse to speak or type). And I had to wonder what her staff REALLY thought of her opinion of herself as a leader. But I absolutely would recommend this to someone looking to start a small business.
pickWith a 5-star rating and over 1600 ratings, it's evident that Moran's message resonates with a wide audience. Whether you're a retiree looking to start a new venture or a seasoned professional seeking to pivot in the digital age, this book offers valuable insights and practical strategies to help you achieve your goals.....

so-soI give this two stars because its subject is interesting. A book about the narcissist of the tech industry. What‘s not enjoyable is the author is as narcissistic as the people she‘s writing about. The book seems to be a tribute to the wonderfulness of Kara Swisher who is always right. She seems to have the impression that she has some influence over the decisions the tech giants make. lost count of the “me‘s” and “I‘s”. All hail Kara Swisher.
pickSwisher recounts her professional journalism career reporting on tech and tech giants that matches the swagger that is needed to go ego to ego in covering them. Mostly recaps of events and interviews. Jobs is painted well; Musk is taken down. Interesting points on tech.
pickUnputdownable journalistic memoir with loads of insight into the tech industry and a very low tolerance for bro culture and BS
pickPart memoir and part illuminating tales from the technology world and its leaders, by award winning journalist Kara Swisher. I loved her insights, entrepreneurial spirit and ability to call out powerful people.
panStay away. The advice is trite. But more importantly, the way the female is represented is insulting. Two people marry and leave corporate to start a speaking company together. After the woman has 3 kids in 2 years, they decide she should stay home. Ok so far. But then “Terri stayed home to manage the company while the HEAVY LIFTING FOR THE BUSINESS FELL ON JUDS SHOULDERS”?!? 3 kids under 3 and managing a biz but he‘s got the tough job? From 2008!
pickA concise guide of 33 laws to apply to one‘s business and relationships both personal and professional. Written by a young entrepreneur who‘s started up many multi-million dollar companies and has one of the world‘s top podcasts interviewing renowned CEO‘s, scientists, and celebrities. A great read for those with their own business, mangers, or anyone looking to improve relationships!
