Welcome back to The Viall Files: Going Deeper Edition! To start things out, the household gets together to talk about recent headlines, such as the 2024 Met Gala, our thoughts on the Vanderpump Rules Season 11 Reunion Trailer, and updates on Rachel Leviss’ lawsuit against Tom and Ariana. Then, we talk to Joel McHale about working in Hollywood, comedy, parenting, cooking, dyslexia, and working on House of Villains. We also have a Texting Office Hours caller who has been dating a guy on and off for three years, and he isn’t sure if he even wants a relationship. She isn’t sure if she keeps holding on, or if she should let him go. 

“I don’t want the Real Job Police to come find me.”

Keith Yandell started at DoorDash as Chief Legal Officer and during his tenure has also led the HR, Customer Support, Marketing, and now Corporate Development teams. In today’s episode, we talk about leadership, and how to lead with empathy. We dig into DoorDash’s unique culture and touch on the WeDash program, which requires every employee to complete four deliveries a year in order to better understand the customer experience. Keith shares his “How to Work with Keith” document and discusses the importance of openness in the workplace. He also gives some tips for founders on hiring, engaging with legal, and how to make big decisions when teams are competing for resources.

Live from the scene of its blockbuster IPO, we recount the crazy, roller coaster journey of this "Palo Alto delivery company". From Sand Hill darling during their Series A and B fundraises to all but left-for-dead during the great unicorn massacre of 2015/16, DoorDash has clawed their way back from the brink and emerged as America's dominant meal delivery service, and its only unit-economic positive standalone logistics player. Is this the dawn of the next great Amazon-like story, or is the company simply benefiting from temporary tailwinds due to the pandemic? As always, we dive DEEP to find out.

In this week's SYSK Select episode, perhaps you equate the term to conspiracy theories and Holocaust denials, but revisionism is a genuine discipline in the field of historical study. And thanks to revisionists, we now include a lot more reality - and previously unsung people - in the history of our nations. Learn about historians determined that history is far from set in stone in this episode.
