This week’s podcast is about revenue scale and operating leverage in traditional companies vs. software vs. AI. And these things can be really different. Especially software vs. AI.

You can listen to this podcast here or at iTunes, Google Podcasts and Himalaya.

Here are the three factors I mentioned that interact for operating leverage:

• Revenue
• Operating profits
• Economic value creation (i.e., vs capital)

Here are the books I mentioned:

• Platform Scale: How an emerging business model helps startups build large empires with minimum investment 
• Platform Revolution: How Networked Markets Are Transforming the Economy and How to Make Them Work for You: How Networked Markets Are Transforming the Economy―and How to Make Them Work for You Kindle Edition
