Jon McNeill: The Algorithm Behind Tesla and SpaceX, Why Automation Should Come Last, and Setting Unrealistic Goals

Jon McNeill: The Algorithm Behind Tesla and SpaceX, Why Automation Should Come Last, and Setting Unrealistic Goals

Nicolai Tangen sits down with Jon McNeill, CEO and Co-Founder of DVx Ventures and author of The Algorithm: The Hypergrowth Formula That Transformed Tesla, Lululemon, General Motors and SpaceX. Having spent three years as President of Tesla reporting directly to Elon Musk before serving as COO of Lyft, McNeill draws on that experience to lay out his five-step formula: question every requirement, delete unnecessary steps, simplify, accelerate, and automate last. They discuss Tesla's near-collapse during Model 3 production, its industry-beating profit margins, and how McNeill spots talent through curiosity. Tune in!

In Good Company is hosted by Nicolai Tangen, CEO of Norges Bank Investment Management. New full episodes every Wednesday, and don't miss our Highlight episodes every Friday.
