The Rundown · Is Spotify in Trouble? New CEOs Face Double Threat from YouTube and Netflix · 18 Jan 2026 podcast

Now, I don't know if that's what's going to happen, but it is something I'm watching very closely because they really are at this point quite close in price.

Yeah, so another interesting tidbit is that Ted is actually on the board of Spotify.

Oh, that's right.

So it would make sense to me that when they were going through this transition, they would probably ask for their advice from the Netflix crew and how that went.

There's a lot of overlap between Netflix and Spotify just in their cultures from what I can tell.

So I would imagine that that played some role.

But like I said, they kind of had this co-president's role already happening, which I would imagine was the training wheels to determine, okay, can you two vibe and actually run a company as two heads versus just one?

Yeah.

And for what it's worth, Daniel is still executive chairman.

And of course, he

picked these guys as his successors.

So he's on their side.

He's there.

He's not leaving.

He's still involved.

So I can imagine that if they were to take some really big swings, they would need Daniel's buy-in.

But if Daniel's bought in, then probably the board would be too.
