The Evolution of Mark Zuckerberg: From Terrible Ideas to Martial Arts and ONE Championship

TL;DR Summary
Spotify CEO Daniel Ek revealed in a podcast interview that he initially thought the idea of a music streaming platform was "terrible" before co-founding Spotify in 2006. Despite his reservations, Ek and his co-founder persevered through numerous challenges, including securing licenses from record labels and financial struggles. Spotify, which revolutionized the music industry by offering a legal and convenient alternative to piracy, has since become a massive success with over 500 million users and a valuation of around $30 billion. Ek credited his co-founder's optimism for helping him overcome the obstacles and turn Spotify into a streaming giant.
