Show Notes

This week Hashem is joined by Richard Windsor, founder of [Radio Free Mobile](https://radiofreemobile.com) which focuses on research & analysis across the digital & mobile ecosystem. Richard shares his thoughts on the current technology landscape—the handful of companies that dominate the sector (known as Big Tech or FAANG) and the prevailing mood in the US pushing to regulate them which surfaced during the recent US Senate Hearings. They also deep dive into business models such as Tik Tok, cloud kitchens and Radio Free Mobile's own model, and how Richard intends to monetize his expertise for the benefit of the consumers of his independent research.
