EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode of Pivot, featuring Scott Galloway and Kara Swisher, 3 Massive IPOs. Scott Galloway Predicts a Crash | Pivot explores purity tests, podcast money, AI IPO mania, and America’s branding crisis They argue that focusing on a candidate’s personal flaws (texts, tattoos) can become a counterproductive “purity test,” especially when broader policy stakes are high, and that campaigns survive scandals by owning them rather than attacking the press.
