What if We Spread This Process Out (AVALON Podcast Episode)

In the 27th episode of the AVALON podcast, Neil discussed the following topics/subjects:

What's on the Agenda (the bulk of the discussion modeled after Apple’s Monday morning meetings)

  • The Financial Times' article regarding Apple CEO succession.

  • Why Apple does deliberate leaks.

  • Defining the Apple CEO role.

  • My short list for Tim Cook successors.

  • How I see Apple CEO succession playing out / what Apple should do. 

Lighting Round (two topics two minutes each)

  • Apple confirms no ad-tier in Apple TV (for now).

  • Is there an AI bubble?

Give Me a Break (something ridiculous that jumped out at me)

  • People losing their minds over iPhone Pocket.

Tell Me More (something intriguing that has my attention)

  • New vs. old/legacy media. Why does new media still elevate old/legacy media in terms of authority and relevancy?
