We’re tackling another big name in this week’s episode of Tradeoffs — music and audio content streaming provider Spotify. Hiten and I sit down to talk through Spotify’s successes and think about what they need to do to maintain their leading position in the market. It’s an interesting topic as, until now, Spotify’s maintained a singular focus on music discovery as their core value proposition.
