How to fight the big boys.
Hi I'm Brian Pombo, welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live.
What does it mean how to fight the big boys?
Why would I even be talking about this?
Well, it really comes down to right now we're in a really crazy time of transition. And you can see it all around you. There are situations to where people are flexing their muscles, and they're doing it through their organizations, through their companies, through the government, everything else.
And there gets to be a point at which it feels as though there's monopolies in certain sectors. So social media, there are certain big people on the block with social media. And they kind of run the show.
It's really tough to work around them because they become big, because they were first because they were best, because they provided people what they wanted, and no one else was able to compete with them.
They were able to get a foothold on the regulations and so forth. That helped keep the small guys small, and everything else. This happens, no matter what industry you're in, it eventually happens everywhere.
Everyone always freaks out as if it's the first time in history this has ever happened. This happens. Every time in every industry that touches most people's lives.
It doesn't matter whether you're talking big oil, or big tech, or big media or big anything, there's always going to be a handful of those that rise to the top, they get better at it than everybody else.
That crush the competition every chance they get and make it extremely difficult for new people to enter the market. So want to pull this back to something very local going on hearing Grants Pass Oregon, which is where I'm filming this from. And we have a situation ever since I started visiting.
Grants Pass probably was close to 20 years ago when I first started visiting. And I had some friends in the area and everyone would be complain about the local newspaper.
There's one local newspaper that that covers Grants Pass specifically. And everyone would always complain about how they were this they were that. So well, why hasn't anyone else risen up and donate that?
Well, it's so difficult.
They have that they have the name and they've been around for so long. And it takes money to start a newspaper and you have to have influence and all the other things that go along with trying to beat out the big boy.
The one that's in charge the one that's that's been around the longest. And I have heard these complaints from right to left, center aisle, everybody.
It's not just a philosophical issue. It and because it actually the paper has gone through a number of different editors and so forth in these throughout these years.
No matter what there's always been heavy duty complaints about the fact that this newspaper is really has a monopoly on local news in terms of news, you know, typical that, you know, the average newspapers, they aren't lasting, they're all going online, and so on, so forth.
So the fact that this one's even lasted this long is amazing. But it also goes to the fact that we have a very mature population in terms of age, and so forth.
