In our conversation, we dig into what Gustav has learned about taking big bets and what to do when they don't work out, how Spotify moved away from squads and how they structure their teams now, how AI is already impacting their product, and also the future of music generated by AI.

Gustav is a product legend and he's now the co-president, chief product and chief technology officer at Spotify, where he's responsible for Spotify's global product and technology strategy and oversees the product design data and engineering teams at the company.

And then after a while, the world switched from curation to recommendation, where instead of people doing that work, you had algorithms. And that was your Facebook, Spotify, and so forth. So you took something, some good like people or books or music, and you digitize it and you put it online and then you ask users to curate it. The internet started with curation, often user curation.
