Listen Later

Dan Sullivan and Peter Diamandis explore the transformative impact of technology on government efficiency and the significant reduction in government bureaucrats, noting that despite the decrease, public service levels have remained stable. The conversation expands beyond government to address the broader implications of reducing bureaucracy within large organizations, particularly in the medical field, where the growth of bureaucratic roles has outpaced that of physicians.

In this episode:
