I’m excited to share with you another fun conversation with my good friend MBI (💎🐕). This marks his sixth appearance on the podcast, putting him in the lead ahead of David Senra with four (not that anyone’s counting!).
Our starting point is his Deep Dive on Microsoft, which I strongly recommend:
📄 Microsoft: The Quintessential Technology Company (sub. required)
It’s an excellent primer and even if you’ve been following Microsoft for a while, I bet you’ll learn a few things!
In the podcast, we dive deep into Microsoft and draw parallels with other Big Tech companies and their founders. Particularly between Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg, but we also discuss Google, Meta, Amazon, and Apple.
We also talk about the company’s history of spectacular profitable growth, the Gates era, the Ballmer era, and the ongoing Nadella era. We also look at how Microsoft is positioned in the cloud market against Amazon's AWS and Google’s GCP. ☁️☁️☁️
