  • Kara Swisher takes on big tech, from Apple to Nvidia

    Kara Swisher takes on big tech, from Apple to Nvidia
    Dec 9 2025

    Can ChatGPT dethrone Gemini? Is Tim Cook capable of leading Apple into the next wave of AI? As 2025 winds down, journalist and podcast host Kara Swisher joins Rapid Response to cut through the noise and decode what’s really happening across OpenAI, Meta, Google, and more. Swisher also sizes up the state of Disney, Netflix, and the escalating bidding war for Warner Bros. Discovery. And in classic Swisher fashion, she doesn’t hold back — weighing in on Elon Musk’s eye-popping potential pay package, Mark Zuckerberg’s costly misfires at Meta, and what the future of AI means for human health and cognition.

I have listened to Masters of Scale since the beginning. At the time, I was switching jobs from Microsoft to Oculus Research (Facebook Reality Labs Research and now Meta Reality Labs Research). This Podcast inspired me so profoundly. Its storytelling was unique. Its quality and use of sound and honest conversations were terrific. And now I recommend it to every Product Manager and person in Tech that I meet. I am leaving a review here in Audible because it deserves thousands of five-star reviews, and I love that I can now bookmark in Audible with my audiobooks (including the Masters of Scale book)! Keep up the great work and teach us all how to be our scale masters and entrepreneurs.
