This week instead of a typical interview we’re going to share a bit from our friends over at the Equity who are talking about what Google's antitrust lawsuit means for startups, how the downturn impacted the way companies are hiring and why femtech stood out in 2022. But first, Darrell goes over some of the top news from the week.  Be sure to listen to Equity where ever you listen to podcasts: pod.link/equity
