Sheryl Sandberg's legacy

Ivm Podcasts
About this episode

The most prominent / powerful tech COO in the world stepped down. Sheryl Sandberg, often the "adult in the room" and the person who turned Facebook from an interesting idea into a money-making behemoth, decided to quit the company after 14 years. Srikeit and Chuck discuss her career and legacy, especially after the second half of it was stained with controversies. A short episode, but loads of rabbitholes to go down.

Add one part news, one part bad jokes, one part Wikipedia research, one part cult references from spending too much time on the internet, one part Wodehouse quotes, and one part quality puns, and you get Simblified.

A weekly podcast to help you appear smarter, to an audience that knows no less! Your four hosts - Chuck, Naren, Srikeit, and Tony attempt to deconstruct topics with humor (conditions apply). Fans of the show have described it as "fun conversations with relatable folks", "irreverent humor", "the funniest thing to come out of Malad West" and "if I give you a good review will you please let me go".

Started in 2016 as a creative outlet, Simblified now has over 200 episodes, including some live ones, and some with guests who are much smarter than the hosts. Welcome to the world of Simblified!
