  • In a world of economic uncertainty and workplace transformation,

  • learn to lead by example from visionary C Suite executives like Shannon Schuyler of PwC and Will Pearson of iHeartMedia,

  • the Good Teacher explains the great.

  • Teacher inspires don't always leave your team to do the work that's been the most important part of how to lead by Example.

  • Listen to Leading by Example executives making an impact on the iHeartRadio app,

  • Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

  • Call Zone Media Bird Up.

  • I'm Ed Zetron and this is your weekly Better Offline monologue.

  • Better Offline so last week I put out a newsletter about CoreWeave,

  • an AI cloud provider that sells GPU compute to AI companies looking to run or train their models,

  • and they recently filed the paperwork to go public now.

  • The newsletter explained the shaky fundamentals of the business, which is putting it mildly,

  • and asked the question, how the fuck does coreweave survive?

  • This is a company that's drowning in debt and reliant on one company for more than half of its revenue.

  • And said company, Microsoft,

  • is actively pulling away from building new data center capacity and has reportedly pulled back from some contracts with coreweave,

  • though it's not clear what those contracts are.

  • Now, this is an important story,

  • and one that raises questions not just about the viability of Core Weave,

  • but the generative AI industry at large.
