This Media Deal Should Scare You (Even If You Love Netflix) | Episode 26

For years, Netflix defined what it meant to be an insurgent: rewriting the rules of distribution, attention, and pricing while legacy media scrambled to keep up. But as the battle for Warner Bros heats up, the lines between insurgent and incumbent are blurring fast. This episode unpacks what happens when the disruptor becomes the dominant force and why that shift matters far beyond Hollywood.We explore the strategic, political, and regulatory implications of mega-mergers involving Netflix, Paramount, and the broader streaming ecosystem. From antitrust risk and market definition to the real impact on consumers, creators, and competition, this conversation goes deeper than headlines and deal values.Most importantly, we pull out the lessons for leaders and founders everywhere: how to recognize when you’ve lost your insurgent edge, why defining your market is a strategic weapon, and what it really takes to keep leveling up when scale starts working against you.--Hosted by seasoned strategy consultants Matt Tice and Rondo Moses, with a combined 50 years of experience, this podcast will challenge you to transcend the status quo and reshape how you think about and approach competing in the business marketplace.  Learn more at www.insurgencegroup.com. Subscribe to “The Insurgent Mindset” on Apple Podcasts, Spotify Podcasts or Youtube, and visit us as www.insurgencegroup.com to learn more.  Have questions or topics you’d like us to cover in a future episode?
