Ramaswamy spent seventeen years inside Google, and eventually grew disillusioned with its business. Now he's trying to create the solution with $77.5 million in funding. In this conversation, we discuss his evolving view on advertising, what decoupling search from ads allows from a product standpoint, and how the current anti-trust environment is opening Google up to the competition.
Stacy Perman and Josh Rottenberg cover the film industry for the L.A. Times. In February, just a week before the annual Golden Globes ceremony, they published a bombshell investigation about the operations of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. The findings were ugly: Self dealing. Ethical lapses. No Black members. And the HFPA continued to make a series of missteps. Now, a group of powerful publicists in Hollywood have declared that they’ll keep their clients away from the Globes -- unless the institution announces real reforms. And this week, the HFPA finally did. We’ll hear from Perman, Rottenberg, and Kjersti Flaa, the Norwegian reporter who took the HFPA to court.

What if we turn our eyes from Washington and rededicate ourselves to the most essential aspect of democratic self-governance that Washington doesn’t ultimately control — the “of, by, and for the people” of it all? And what might happen in Washington if we did? Do we have to forget about Washington if we’re ultimately going to save America? To attempt to answer this question we’re joined by Former U.S. Congressman Jason Altmire, author of the book “Dead Center” who has got unique insider knowledge and a determination to doggedly tell the truth.
Jason Altmire served three terms in the United States House of Representatives. He was a bipartisan centrist known for working with both sides of the aisle – ultimately having 29 of his legislative initiatives signed into law. During his time in office, the nonpartisan National Journal calculated Altmire’s voting record to be at the exact midpoint of the House — the Dead Center — giving him the most centrist voting record in Congress.
Erik Fogg attended MIT, but failed his intro to computer science classes. It was at that point, that he punted over to mechanical engineering. So as you could guess, Erik is not the tech guy - but, he does know enough to be dangerous. He loves to work with his hands, and has a professional history in solving old problems in new ways.
Speaking of working with his hands, he likes to create comic con gear (at the time of the recording he had a captain America shield made out of an old satellite in his office). He's also a huge comic book and sports card collector, and he actually mentors several startups involved in pricing & liquidity around collectibles. Outside of that, he hosts a podcast around the topic of politics, polarization, and tribalism.
Early 2018, Erik's co-founder started working through the traditional problems of QA testing. After getting fed up with it, he decided that he just needed to build his own solution, and needed someone to help him turn it into a business. Erik joined the team, and has been changing the QA testing landscape ever since.
