We use brands and products more as
00:00:02
identity signals than ever before.
00:00:04
Whether it's to reflect my skater
00:00:06
identity or my cool athlete identity or
00:00:08
my political affiliation. So that's
00:00:10
going to increase the risk of
00:00:12
incompatibilities. The barriers to entry
00:00:14
are pretty low across a lot of
00:00:15
industries now, which means one brand's
00:00:18
conflict could be another brand's
00:00:20
opportunity. I see you're ignoring a
00:00:21
segment or you've done something that's
00:00:23
bothering one. Well, I'm going to then
00:00:25
pick them off because I can actually
00:00:26
serve them better and more clearly.
