Bloomberg Podcasts did a 7-part deep dive into WeWork last year and its extremely entertaining and eye-opening: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-06-25/wework-podcast-adam-neumann-s-kibbutz-2-0?srnd=foundering https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-06-25/wework-po... I believe Ellen Huet was the narrator and main journalist. One of the more fascinating podcast series I've listened to. Hearing about Adam and all the wackiness surrounding him, I can totally recall some of the hyper charismatic people I've known. They can have this weird almost energy field around them that just turns people's brains off.

There was a guy I worked for, I had to quit three times, because he could always paint a picture of the cool things we were going to work on, and on the first two occasions I got a field promotion out of it. The last time I literally did not make eye contact with him and I kept interrupting his train of thought before he could spin up into a speech.
