Hunter Walk is a Venture Capitalist and successful operator. He's perhaps best known for being the Head of Product at a little company called Youtube. So is everything Youtube accomplished good? We talk to Hunter about that and more.

We ask Hunter about tech culture, his experience moving to San Francisco, and his perspective on the infamous James Damore memo (which lit up a major controversy here in the Bay Area). Should Google have handled it any differently?
