CEOs love saying "You're gonna be replaced"
Netflix CEO: “Theaters are dead.”
Nvidia CEO: “Coding is dead.”
Nokia CEO: “We did nothing wrong, but we lost.”
Steve Jobs: “Big phones? No one will buy those.”
Palm CEO: “Apple can’t make phones.”
FedEx exec: “Amazon logistics? LOL.”
Airbnb CEO: “Hotels are finished.”
Marriott CEO: “Airbnb? Not a threat.”
Toys ‘R’ Us: “E-commerce? Who cares.”
See the pattern?
CEOs say wild shit all the time.
Sometimes to hype their hustle.
Sometimes to keep investors calm.
Sometimes because they’re just… delusional.
Don’t fall for it.
Don’t get distracted.
Do your thing, ship your work, prove them wrong.
