This week on Great Chat, we talk about the 96 hours of Windsurf frenzy that consumed Silicon Valley, and what the implications are for the (broken) social contract that tech startups have with employees. We also share notes from the Backstreet Boys Into the Millennium concert, what Sally is seeing at NBA Demo Day at Summer League, Bill Ackman’s foray into professional sports, the tea (or lack thereof) from Sun Valley, and the unfortunately named TITV.

Mercury is back as the headline sponsor for season two! Mercury is a financial technology company, not a bank. Banking services provided through Choice Financial Group, Column N.A., and Evolve Bank & Trust; Members FDIC.
