          With the Nasdaq near all-time highs, the valuations of many tech companies are really high. Even with high unemployment and low economic activity, many tech companies that don't display profits are being valued a lot more than most established companies with solid profits and better balance sheets. 

          In this episode, you'll learn why investors value unprofitable tech startups a lot more than established tech businesses. The excerpts will come from the book Zero to One by Peter Thiel.

          • The turnaround strategy at Coty

            For years, Coty, the multinational beauty company, has experienced years of declining sales as fewer consumers buy CoverGirl makeup and Burberry perfume and opt for smaller and more intimate brands. Some of those brands are marketed as better for the environment for the products they use and the less harm they put on animals during testing. Other brands are run by famous beauty and makeup influencers. 

            To combat declining sales, Coty's management has decided to acquire various performing brands in its industry to turnaround its declining business. Listen to learn more about Coty's new turnaround strategy.
