Goldman Sachs CEO and Chairman Lloyd Blankfein sat down with Kristen Scholer for a wide-ranging interview. Blankfein shared his thoughts on President Trump, who he recently met with at the World Economic Forum in Davos. While he wasn't an early supporter of Trump, he believes the president is good for small business and the American economy. Blankfein also shared his thoughts on the crypto craze, saying there's a lot of hype surrounding the currency. He says Goldman won't open a trading desk for bitcoin anytime soon. Netflix signed a huge deal with star producer Ryan Murphy.

Despite going through many public scandals, Uber saw a boost in ridership. Plus, we talk about how Snapchat's redesign has drawn sharp criticism from its younger users. The Daily Beast's Taylor Lorenz says people will have to get used to it because there is no chance Snapchat will change back to the old version. The outrage led to change.org petition which has already generated 600,000 signatures.
