This week, Natasha chatted with Alex about ego, how recent news from Sam Bankman-Fried and Elizabeth Holmes gives us a window into how it works, and impacts on the tech and venture landscape.We talked about:What Holmes and Bankman-Fried have in common, from centralized ownership to a cult of personalityThe differences between the two entrepreneurs, and why their stories tend to blur togetherHow Adam Neumann, Elon Musk and others fit into the conversationLearning lessons from startups from a chaotic, and main-character-driven yearWe have a lot of really fun stuff coming up in the next week or two.
