What happens when a Harvard dropout builds a global empire on the idea of connection... and then becomes one of the most emotionally disconnected figures in tech? This week, Amanda and Chelsea are joined by Robert Evans of Behind the Bastards (@bastardspod) to unpack the cult-like control of Mark Zuckerberg, the boy wonder turned code-powered control freak.

From the chaos of Facemash to the calculated calm of Meta, we trace the evolution of Zuckerbergs’s leadership style and how his obsession with efficiency, rating systems, and surveillance shaped one of the most influential companies in the world. We’ll explore employee testimonies, bizarre office rituals, and the cognitive dissonance of a CEO preaching human connection while undermining it at every turn.
