Journalist and podcaster Kara Swisher has been the bear poker and sacred-cow tipper of the tech world. Standing at five feet three inches, with her keyboard as weapon and her aviators as protection, she’s unafraid to throw down with the likes of Elon Musk. (She called him a “petty jerk”; he called her “asshole.”) She once grilled a young Mark Zuckerberg so thoroughly at an onstage interview that he sweated through his hoodie. Now, at 61, Swisher, author of Burn Book: A Tech Love Story, mother (of four!), and podcaster (Pivot, On with Kara Swisher), reveals how she keeps it supremely and unapologetically together.
