“tldr; remember Bill Murray’s whiskey commercials in Lost in Translation? This is what you’re getting.
I like Malcolm Gladwell’s revisionist history. He finds an unusual way to cover a topic we thought we already knew. I didn’t care particularly about Lexus coming in to this podcast, but the company probably had an interesting story given Malcolm was covering it. Nope.
