Interesting that no one mentioned Netflix, which originally started off as nothing more than a rentals company.

Netflix is a cool one but the transition from rentals to streaming feels more like a natural progression than a pivot.

If it was so natural, a single high level executive at Blockbuster should've seen it coming. Accessible and cheap servers, exponentially increasing internet speeds, and smart devices all happening at once was society-altering. It seems obvious in retrospect but it's just tough to spot.

It’s was natural, but also bold. Established companies rarely do bold.

It also wasn’t obvious.
