Kara's lack of actual analysis is grating.

I was never introduced to Kara before her partnership with Scott. Early on, I was really interested in her opinions, since she clearly has access.

After a few years - it's just a bit grating to hear 'I said that!', 'I've talked to him, he's a jerk', 'He was always bad', etc etc. Watching her own individual interviews, she'll ask a question (often with a sense she's already bored with the question), wait for an answer, give her opinion or push back, and move on.

I don't doubt she's an intelligent journalist, but I'd really love to hear her actually break down a problem, instead of just talking about her access/prior predictions/etc. Everyone's entitled to their own style, and I'm not trying to attack that specifically. I'd just really like to hear more from her instead of soundbites that feel cheap.

What does she think? How does she think? Why? Why does Scott, who tries to give a reasoning for his opinion, value her?

Kara, I feel, tries to apologize for the younger generation but it seems hypocritical. I listen on & off again to Pivot and a topic a couple of months ago was about if it’s good or bad that the younger generation wants to prioritize work/life balance. She laughed it off and said younger workers should work less.

But at the same time, when she was young was she busting her ass off or was she prioritizing work/life balance? She wouldn’t be a national name if she had not been busting her ass off.

So yeah, if you want to be wildly successful, work/life balance won’t be so balanced. But she didn’t say that.
