I'm Russell Steed, and I've got this weird obsession with figuring out why some businesses take off while others crash and burn. Maybe it's the physics degree talking, but I keep seeing these crazy patterns that nobody's talking about. That's what The Fundamental Edge is all about. I take those invisible forces shaping business success and make them ridiculously obvious by connecting them to physics and natural laws. (Don't worry, I keep the physics super simple – no quantum mechanics here unless you're into that sort of thing.) Each episode, I'll break down a fundamental principle through real business stories. Like how Snapchat turned down $3 billion from Facebook only to lose 73% of their value later – which, weirdly enough, follows the same principle that explains why galaxies form. Mind-blowing, right? This isn't your typical "7 steps to success" business podcast. I'm more interested in the why behind the how. Once you see these patterns, you'll never look at business advice the same way again. This is the podcast that helps you understand all those other business podcasts! Hit me up on LinkedIn @RussellSteed if you spot these principles in the wild or just want to geek out about business mechanics. Let's crush it together!
