The misconception that Uber's success was due to reckless spending ignores the strategic decisions made by its founders.

Uber's strategy of spending money rapidly was misinterpreted by others who didn't grasp the underlying reasons for its success.

Uber's strategy involves building a hybrid network of human drivers and autonomous vehicles to optimize resource utilization based on demand.

As we succeed, not everyone is happy, especially when tackling older industries that are more protected. Uber is significantly improving drivers' lives by helping them earn more money and achieve their American dream.

My leadership has evolved significantly since Uber, where I learned from running a small team to managing thousands of employees and millions of drivers.

Many startups superficially imitated Uber's scaling tactics without understanding the context, leading to poor outcomes.

Startups that face setbacks but can leverage them for growth, like Uber did during the taxi strike in London, often succeed where others fail.

During my seven years at Uber, we expanded to 70 countries, completed 5 billion rider trips, and achieved a $70 billion valuation.

As CEO, I've transitioned from being a micromanager to learning to delegate, focusing on being a culture carrier and making tough philosophical decisions.
