Episode notes
Nike Acquiring Peloton
- Nike acquiring Peloton for $15 billion makes sense, but not at $50 billion.
- At $50 billion, it's a big bet and might destroy shareholder value unless Nike becomes a connected fitness company.
Moving Abroad
- Move abroad for personal growth, but find a job first.
- Seeking a company transfer is the best approach because it provides support and reduces financial strain.
Operational Role
- Lean into operational roles.
- Gaining operational experience is valuable for career growth, even if account work drives company growth.
