โ Final Thoughts Friday for 2025-12-05
Netflix buys WBD and Meta buys Limitless
๐ฟ + ๐ฐ One big story this week was Netflix planning to spend ~$83B for Warner Bros Discovery to secure Warner Brothers studio, HBO, and Max.
๐ค + ๐ฐ Also, big story for users of Limitless Pendantโฆ Limitless is joining the Meta devices division. I guess this isnโt shocking considering the increasing numbers of Meta glasses Iโve noticed at conferences.
๐ค While Iโve enjoyed using my Limitless Pendant, the company has been acquired by Metaโฆ which is an ecosystem I try to avoid.
๐๏ธ So, my biggest story of the week is my plan to follow the instructions to download a copy of Limitless data and request deletion of Limitless data that Iโve enjoyed gathering since the first beta.

YMMV.

A quick message from Lida:
With 18 years building, marketing, and scaling products at startups, I work with founders and leaders stuck between where they are and where they need to be. I help you cut through the noise, make sharper decisions, and get your team executing with clarity instead of chaos.
Most founders mistake complexity for strategy. They keep adding when they should be subtracting. When I'm brought in, the team is usually doing a lot right, and the real issue is focus and direction. I diagnose what's actually going wrong across product, positioning, and execution, then reset direction and get everyone aligned around one clear path forward that will lead to growth.
A bit of what I've done: I was the first PM on a fintech product that hit 10,000+ users within months, built a national incubator that supported over $500M in startup funding, and led teams at 23 Design before it was acquired by frog (the design team behind Appleโs first products). I've spoken at Google, Microsoft, and LinkedIn, etc.
