This week’s podcast is about my visit to ByteDance, which is just a fascinating company. Lots of good lessons that I will be writing about. 

Two clarifications:

• This was a visit to a ByteDance office. Which is a different group than TikTok.
• The ecommerce GMV numbers cited are from external reports - and not ByteDance or TikTok. And these numbers are likely probably guesses and only somewhat accurate.

You can listen to this podcast here, which has the slides and graphics mentioned. Also available at iTunes and Google Podcasts.
