It's all about the vision; remaining in control and staying highly influential. And yes, at the same time the pendulum swings in both ways as we can see with Musk, DHH etc. Pick your "Hero Story" :P
Beck focuses too much on survival, as FWIW Chesky / PG talked about larger companies. Most of them are and will be doing fine either way. Unless this is all about further increasing shareholder value again, which it might. Not a "survival" topic then, or is it?
