What we've got here… is a failure to communicate!
One of my favorite parts of this conversation with Docker CTO Justin Cormack is on ways developers can better speak to the C-suite and better ways the CEO's and CFO's can listen.

April 12th, 2018, was a day that changed my life. It began with a prank that almost led to a major fallout and ended with the start of my journey to owning R&R Pipeline. I share a personal story about the importance of patience and not reacting impulsively.

Spotify was rejected by Apple.
Android rejected by Nokia.
Netflix by Blockbuster.
Rejection leads to success when:
- You don't give up.
- You can stay positive and pro-active.
- You seek feedback to learn from rejection.
- You can take risks.
- You pivot.
Getting rejected can actually change your career forever.
It all depends on how you take it.
In 2024: embrace rejections.
Agree?

Massive congrats to my former bandmates and all-time favorite app Spotify on record profitability and 240M paying users! It feels like yesterday we were in meetings getting asked about Napster, piracy, artist hold outs, and when will Apple squash us like a bug.
A couple takeaways from yesterday's Q1 earnings report:
- Despite rising subscription costs, the service remains sticky. The implementation of podcasts, video, audiobooks, and AI discovery provides daily inspiration for consumers. Spotify's value-to-price ratio remains the ultimate no-brainer in the attention economy, and churn remains low.
- When engagement soars this high (i.e. T. Swift 300M streams in a day!), you can look past moderate user growth. Re-investing in marketing and drafting off music discovery from TikTok, Netflix shows, etc. will keep Spotify the "go-to" streaming choice for new consumers.
While it hasn't come without challenges, the dream set forth in Stockholm 18 years ago ("music as ubiquitous as tap water") is now consistently profitable too. Congrats to all my friends at Spotify on the latest achievement and thanks for all the great tunes -- can't wait to hear (and watch) what's next.
