Gorillas and VC Ethics

Is Adam Neumann the Teflon Don of tech bros? In this episode of Relentless, Phil Shalala and Anthony Batt dissect how VC money keeps falling into the laps of the same charismatic (and occasionally questionable) founders—looking at you, Adam. Despite a WeWork implosion of biblical proportions, Neumann is back, flush with fresh cash. Why do investors keep betting on the same wild cards, and what does it say about the ethics—or lack thereof—in venture capital?The conversation punches through everything from personal resilience to Mike Tyson’s comeback spirit to the internet-breaking debate of our time: could 100 men really take down 1 gorilla? (Spoiler: probably not.)As always, it’s unfiltered, insightful, and a little unhinged—in the best way. Tune in for entrepreneurial war stories, moral questions with no easy answers, and a reminder that being relentless isn’t just about grinding—it’s about growing.Ready to rumble? Hit play.
