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. Meanwhile, a parallel universe of developers, creators, and entrepreneurs is emerging. These new players are building sustainable businesses through value creation, organic growth, and direct monetization. They are redefining victory by breaking free of the zero-sum game.
