A premiere for our upcoming season : The Art of Competition
Episode 1: Boeing vs Airbus
✈️ Is Boeing falling behind while Airbus keeps gaining ground, was it always the case?
In this episode of The TrickCast, Alex Siletsky and Amir Abdelazim break down one of the biggest rivalries in business history – Boeing vs Airbus – and what startup founders can learn from it.
Recent events have put Boeing under scrutiny, with failures and recalls raising concerns in the aviation industry. News reports highlight whistle blowing accounts, contrasting Boeing vs Airbus in public perception. The FAA is likely involved given the recent plane crash.
We cover:
- The origins of the Boeing vs Airbus rivalry and why Europe created Airbus to compete.
- How healthy competition sparks innovation (and what happens when monopolies kill industries).
- The shocking parallels to tech wars today: Tesla vs legacy auto, Netflix vs Blockbuster, Uber vs Lyft.
- What SpaceX is doing to disrupt aviation and why Elon Musk may be Boeing’s biggest headache.
- Practical lessons for founders and leaders on strategy, market positioning, and creating your own “luck.”
🎙️ If you’re a founder, co-founder, or startup leader, this conversation will change how you think about competition in your own industry.
