About this episode

Are you trying to innovate before you truly understand the problem? Daniel Ek is the co-founder of Spotify, the world's most popular audio streaming service, and the co-founder of preventative health company Neko Health. In this moment, Daniel shares the approach that lets innovators crack problems most people write off as impossible, and why a healthy dose of delusion only works when it's paired with something far less glamorous. He takes you behind the scenes of how Spotify prepared for Apple Music's launch, explains how to tell when to keep going and when to walk away, and reveals why every team building something new needs a skeptic in the room.
