Amazon has 1.57 million employees.
Albania has 1.17 million people working.
A company now has more workers than a country.
So what happens when a company becomes a state?
Who protects you then?
And who is protecting you now?
Would you live there? Tell me below 👇
Full episode "After the System" on my YouTube on Friday.

The phone giants could have built WhatsApp. 55 people did, and sold it for $19 billion.
Small teams disrupt, big teams develop.

Everyone can build a one-person company now. That's exactly why it won't be an advantage.

I spend under 30 minutes a day on social media and barely look at 3 posts.
I still post every day.
The algorithm shows little of what's true. So I stopped consuming it and started feeding it.
Your team’s AI anxiety is half right.
One person with AI can now match a small team on an average task.
But on the best ideas, two people with AI won.
AI can copy your tools. It can’t copy a team that trusts each other.
Want your team faster with AI? Stop adding tools.
KPMG and University of Melbourne (2025): more than half of workers hide how they use AI.
Add conversation instead.
When I stepped down as CEO, most people around me left. Power and assets were what held them.
Now AI tells weak leaders they're always right, and a crisis shows them panicking.
A crisis doesn't make leaders. It shows who already was one.
Big tech is filling its pockets before the storm. Don't let it be with your savings.
Alphabet sold $85B of its own stock. Meta, up to $95B, some to its own chip suppliers.
Newton lost a fortune in 1720 buying the top. You're not smarter than Newton.
Not investment advice.
Your team's best AI idea will sound stupid first.
Nobody knows yet how to use AI in a team. Every guess has to be said out loud.
This week, send one question before your meeting: how did you use AI this week?
Gen Z protests everywhere. Every outlet explains them with its own agenda.
I filmed the ones in Tirana from inside. It's not about one law. It's a war between generations, and it won't stop until the people who built the system let go of the wheel.
Nobody knows how to use AI properly yet. The "experts" are testing like everyone else.
I started e-commerce 15 years after the world and still needed 5 years to get it.
You're not behind. You're just waiting.
If I had four hours to cut a tree, I'd spend three sharpening the axe.
With AI, most teams skip straight to swinging.
Slow first. Then fast.
I haven't met one team leader who isn't overwhelmed by AI.
More tools. More rules. Same hours.
This week, don't add a tool. Have one more conversation.
Your best person is the one most afraid of AI.
They were the rockstar. Now they fear losing their status. Start with what they hate doing.
I talk more than the AI.
The AI's bottleneck is context. With a human, talking this much is boring. With AI, it's the point.
In 2001, 16 hospitals adopted the same new technology. Same tech, same money.
It's not the technology. It's us.
A leader who never uses AI is a smaller problem than one who uses it to catch his team's mistakes.
Your result is your team's result.
