Rewind: CEO Jim Farley on Ford's EV gamble

Hogging seats on a crowded train, not saying excuse me, watching videos on your phone with no headphones in. Sometimes it feels like we don't know how to act anymore. What we have been seeing, increasingly, is people breaking rules. Why should I play by the rules if nobody else is going to do that for me? This week on Explain It to Me, how to mind your manners.

New episodes Sundays wherever you get your podcasts. Hey everybody, it's Neeli. You might remember last year I took a break from Dakota after we had a baby. In my place, we had an excellent slate of guest hosts, and we've been working hard to bring you those episodes in full video since we launched our official Dokoter YouTube channel. So today we're featuring a really great interview with Ford CEO Jim Farley, conducted by my very good friend Joanna Stern.

Joanna was still working for the Wall Street Journal as a columnist when she did this interview, but she's since left the journal and launched her own new media company, New Things. We actually had her on as a guest talking about her new company earlier this year. We'll link that episode in the show notes. Joanna and Jim talked back in September of last year, right after Ford announced a major new manufacturing process for its electric car lineup.

We already have this episode, so unlocking it is cheap and permanent: the full transcript (61 minutes, 10,438 words), segment and word-level timestamps, and .txt, .srt, .vtt and word-level JSON downloads, as many times as you like, forever.

No account needed, we create one from your checkout email. With credits it is 1 credit; packs start at 10 episodes for $5, and monthly plans are cheaper still.
