Alex opens the episode from a new mystery location studio, if you can guess what state he\'s in (leave a comment) we\'ll send you an Applico prize! The first topic of the show dives into some examples of the marquee platform strategy, including Spotify\'s investment into podcasts, the closing of Microsoft\'s Mixer, and Epic Games\' PC game marketplace. Alex also breaks down why striking against a platform monopoly like Facebook won\'t work.
