Grief, Loss, & Hope in Israel & Gaza 10/24/23

Apple supplier Foxconn is reportedly facing a tax investigation in China. Apple’s other issue these days: Chinese e-commerce retailers are offering iPhone 15s at a steep discount, raising questions about demand for Apple products. Professor, former CEO, and biographer of both Steve Jobs and Elon Musk Walter Isaacson discusses the tricky terrain for a corporation like Apple, navigating Chinese and American geopolitics. Plus, a pivot to the Middle East. One of many, a tech entrepreneur lost his daughter in the Israel-Hamas War. Eyal Waldman, co-founder of Nvidia-acquired Mellanox, grieves for his daughter, who was among those killed in the Hamas attack on the Nova Music Festival. He shares his perspective on the conflict and on the road forward, hoping for a two-state road to a peaceful future.
