I still canāt believe Iām writing this š„¹ - Cheryl and Maxine sat down with THE Mozillaās CEO, Laura Chambers! and hereās why you should tune in like right now!

She gives us the inside scoop on the battle between open and closed AI, the real reason Mozilla took on Big Tech, and whatās at stake for the future of the internet. Oh, and did we mention she once bought a boat as a kid and paid it off with paper route money? Absolute legend.
If you care about AI, open-source, or just want to peek behind the curtains of one of the biggest internet giants, hit play now. I mean, why wouldnāt you?! š§š„
