Kara and Steve Case go back — way back, to the 1990s. She was a
young Washington Post reporter covering a new thing called “the
Internet” … and he was a co-founder of the company that became AOL.
In this conversation, they take a walk back through time to look at
how far the world has come and where tech companies have stumbled
or fallen flat. They discuss Case’s new book, “Rise of the Rest,”
which offers an optimistic future for the expansion of
entrepreneurship and innovation beyond a handful of places like
Silicon Valley, Boston and New York City. They also discuss whether
a more equitable distribution of economic growth is possible, given
some of the nation’s political divides — and potential solutions
for bridging those divides. Before the interview, Kara and
Nayeema talk about the newsmakers of the day, including Theranos
founder, Elizabeth Holmes, who is seeking a new trial, and the deep
pockets of “anti-woke” investors in Silicon Valley including, of
course, Peter Thiel. As always, Kara offers unsolicited
advice. Do you want some (solicited) advice from Kara? Call
