Reputation Matters

from People vs Algorithms · host Brian Morrissey and Alex Schleifer

Meanwhile, brands are facing reputational crises from their ties to the government as Scott Galloway calls for a boycott of companies who sell their products to ICE. Jeff Bezos’ well-earned reputation as a business genius is at risk as his 13-year tenure owning The Washington Post turns into an unmitigated disaster. Meanwhile, Anthropic wants to develop a high-minded reputation by dinging OpenAI for the crime of running advertising. Finally, media might be in its death throes, but there’s always a need for a B2B conference that brings together the buy and sell side of the avocado market.* Watch us on YouTube* Troy Young’s People vs Algorithms newsletter* Brian Morrissey’s The Rebooting newsletter* Alex Schleifer’s Human Computer* Follow Alex, Brian and Troy on TwitterChapters:* 00:20 Welcome* 05:09 Reputational Cost* 22:36 Company Reputation* 30:56 Bezos & WP Disaster* 41:55 Bringing Together The Buy & Sell Side* 48:24 AI & Ads* 56:31 Good Product* 01:01:21 Outro This is a public episode.
