Headlines From The Times - A homeless community that couldn’t last

A small, tight-knit community grew inside an abandoned building in L.A.’s Koreatown. The people who found shelter there felt lucky. In a city where unhoused people have to set up encampments wherever they can — in parks, on sidewalks, beneath freeway overpasses — this old building offered a real sense of home.

But the people who lived there knew their community couldn’t last.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders - S6 Bonus: Prabhjot Singh, Pyze

Prabhjot Singh has been in enterprise software for the last 22 years - so he has seen a thing or 2. He joined Citibank out of school, and did a leadership program there for 10 months. Post that, he progressed into the startup world... and never left. He got to be apart of early stage growth, acquisitions, and scaling businesses over a short period of time. He's married, and the father of a four year old - which he notes keeps him sane during his startup life. He mentions that a huge blessing from the pandemic has been the time he's been able to spend with his wife and daughter, working on a fully remote team. They started hiking during the pandemic, to balance the lack of activity, and of course to use all of their daughter's energy so she will sleep at night.

He started out his current venture, he started out in the B2C space. When they weren't seeing the user growth they needed, they pivoted their capabilities fit the enterprise, over the average Joe consumer... with the mission of making enterprises successful. In doing so, they realized that it wasn't just the application - it was the process.

This is the creation of Pyze.

Honestly with Bari Weiss - Russia’s War on Ukraine: A Roundtable

Air raid sirens have been ringing out over the capital of Ukraine for the past week. Russian troops have laid siege to Kharkiv, the second biggest city in the country, and the city of Kherson in the south has already fallen. More than a half of a million Ukranians have fled their homes, with little more than a suitcase or two. Hundreds have been confirmed dead, and surely that number is just the beginning. 


Why did Putin invade Ukraine at this moment? What is his endgame—and what is the West’s? Does this war augur the beginning of a new era? Perhaps even a new Cold War?


Today, Niall Ferguson, Walter Russell Mead and Francis Fukuyama discuss whether or not America is up to the task of truly, as Biden said at the State of the Union address, defending freedom from tyranny.
