Carney came across as more measured and less direct. But naturally very capable when it comes to understandi...

In this episode of the Slow Hunch, I spoke with Jay Graber, CEO of Bluesky. Originally conceived as an initiative within Twitter under Jack Dorsey, Bluesky was designed to transform Twitter from a closed platform to an open, protocol-based network.
