Now to that explosive expose on the tech industry. Emily chang has a brand new book out on what she calls the boys club of Silicon Valley. She joins us in stewudio to tal more about her book. Great title, by the way. Thank you. Emily, thanks for coming on today. First and foremost, lets talk about this title because were so familiar with the idea of boys clubs. How is this different it encapsulates the idea that in Silicon Valley anyone can change the world and make your own rules if youre a man, but if youre a woman its harder. Silicon valley is painted as this place where dreams can be made, but unfortunately women dont have that opportunity. If you look at the numbers, they hold 25 of computing theyre 7 pbl theyre 7 of investor. I think about all the women who could have been Mark Zuckerberg could have started the next facebook but never got the opportunity. Women who lead these changes for womens rights always say women need to be in these leadership roles and oftentimes its so publicized in the news but yet really the real story, thats not the case. Right. Its a catch22 because in many ways you cant be what you cant see. The women in leadership will create the change they need, but the question is how do we get them there. An interesting case study, i have a whole chapter focused on google. In the early days the founders of google really focused on hiring and promoting women and they got people like sheryl sandberg, who scaled the entire ad business and went on to facebook. And the ceo today and marissa mayer. Over the years google simply lost focus on hiring women and making that a priority. Now their numbers are simply average. I think its a good example that hiring women isnt just the right thing to do, its the smart thing to do. Its a Good Business decision. Especially in this day and age. Right. More Companies Need to be prioritizing this. Too often its about hitting the next project launch and people dont want to be patient to find people of diversity and backgrounds but this is an industry that is controlling so many things about our lives, we need people 90 of the people making these decisions shouldnt be men. And these women need to stand up for all the sexism. Speaking of that, there are some really outrageous examples in this book. I think i read something about a strip club . Yes. I actually went to visit the gold club, which is down the street from us in the middle of techland at 11 45 a. M. On a friday. There is a line out the door, this is for lunch. What . And you look around and you can tell that the vast majority of people there are tech workers. And, you know, theyre often leaving the office in the middle of the day in groups with their colleagues, and theyll go off to a private room by themselves and, you know, this is unfortunately putting women in very uncomfortable positions. I talked to women at uber who were invited to strip clubs in the middle of the day. You know, if they left at 3 00 p. M. And came back at 3 00 a. M. It didnt matter as long as they got their work done. For women thats a very difficult choice to make. Do you go with your colleagues and hang out where work is being talked about an business is getting done or do you hang back and then youre just sort of the uncool kid. Youre between a rock and a hard place. You want to advance your career, you want to please people. Its difficult. Absolutely. And i think women in tech are just so outnumbered and so theyre always looking for a way to get that break. And so, you know, they may think to themselves, oh, i should do this. Maybe ill get my product launched. Maybe ill get put on soandsos team. You know, youre right, it is sort of an impossible catch22. But the good news is i think that there are a lot of good people who do care about this who are working on this. Change isnt going to happen overnight. But, you know, it is so important. This is an industry that is controlling what we see and what we read and how we shop and how we get around. You know, we need people of all backgrounds making these products. And i think its good because your book is really shedding some light on this industry. Brotopia is out on book shelves as we speak. Thank you for joining us. Thank you for having me.
