Daniel Ek: Daily Routine
The Spotify CEO reads every morning, walks in the snow to think, and ruthlessly skips social calls to protect his focus.
Daniel Ek, the Swedish co-founder and CEO of Spotify, is focused on one thing: speed. When he was asked in a 2018 interview with Fast Company about how he plans to stay ahead of the competition, Ek replied, “I think long term, we at Spotify have some defensible moats, but success for us will be determined by our ability to move faster than everyone else in the space. And just keep on innovating.”
That focus on speed and constant innovation is what has pushed Spotify to become one of the biggest music streaming services in the world, and positioned Ek as one of the most powerful people in the industry.
