About this episode
The episode discusses how subtraction and customer-centric processes drive growth in companies like Tesla and Amazon.
Most companies fail not because they do too little — but because they do too much. First, former Tesla president Jonathan McNeill reveals how subtraction, speed, and radical simplification fueled hypergrowth at Tesla, Lululemon, and SpaceX. Then, two Amazon veterans share the inside playbook from Working Backwards on how the company scaled by obsessing over process and working from the customer backward.
