And we have now gotten to the place where I think our own audience data shows people like the episodes where I talk more than the episodes where the CEOs talk.

That's a victory.

I feel very weird about that, but we have it.

We are hearing the feedback.

Do the explainer episodes.

Do the DoorDash problem episodes.

The problem with all of that is that I am at my core still a reporter, and I need to show you my reporting.

So if I just show up and do ranted out video episodes every week, it would be much easier for all of us.

And as you can tell, I could probably just do it.

But if I don't have the reporting, I won't feel good about it.

And so to me, a huge part of the Monday episode is just showing my work.

Here's how I do the things I do.

Here's where the opinions I have come from.

I allow these people to challenge my opinions as directly as they want.

I challenge theirs.

I've come to a deeper, more interesting understanding of how this whole industry works, of how the masters of the universe make decisions.

And then I can show up on a Thursday episode and say, hey, I think that sucks.

And I feel great about where that came from.

And there's just some honest dealing about all that that's important.

Now, does media training suck?
