The Dark Side of Tech Giants: Winning by Breaking Rules
In this episode, I get into the controversial strategies employed by tech giants like PayPal, Uber, Airbnb, Facebook, Amazon, and Tesla. These companies are often hailed as innovators, but their success largely stems from breaking existing regulations, misusing user trust, and deploying capital aggressively.

Discover the contrast between traditional Silicon Valley tactics and the new game-changing approaches in this thought-provoking episode.
