354: How to Stay on Top Forever with the Help of Today’s Tech Titans

A lot has been written about the big five. I’m talking about the giants of tech. You know who they are: Facebook, Amazon, Google, Apple, and Microsoft.

Much of what’s been written about them has not been positive. Four of the five are currently under investigation for nefarious practices. But if you’ve decided there’s nothing they can teach you about running a successful business, well, then you’d be dead wrong.

This idea is at the heart of a new book written by journalist Alex Kantrowitz. It’s called Always Day One: How the Tech Titans Plan to Stay on Top Forever.

Through 130 interviews, from Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg to hourly workers past and present, Alex reveals the blueprint for success in a world where no advantage is safe.
