Description
For more than two decades, Apple, Amazon, Facebook, and Google have influenced how the world moves: what people buy, how they communicate, where they seek answers, and how advertising reaches them. This summary explores how each company rose by making a few unusually clear choices—about customers, design, data, and scale—and how those choices gradually pushed earlier leaders into the background.
Along the way, listeners will find grounded business lessons about vision, differentiation, risk, and building trust. The closing chapter shifts from companies to people, offering gentle career guidance for thriving in a tech-shaped economy—whether someone chooses to grow as an employee or build something of their own.
