News didn't die. Newspapers did.

When the internet arrived, people didn't stop consuming news, they consumed more of it than ever before. What changed wasn't demand. It was the delivery method.

In this first episode of the Manhattan Podcast, we explore one of the most important business lessons of the last 30 years: technology rarely destroys industries, it changes the companies that win.

From newspapers and Blockbuster to Kodak and travel agencies, history shows the same pattern over and over again. The businesses that protected the old model disappeared. The ones that adapted became larger than ever.

So what does this have to do with investing?

Everything.

The same structural shift is now reshaping private capital markets. Access, transparency, speed, and technology are redefining how capital moves, and creating opportunities that didn't exist before.

Whether you're an investor, entrepreneur, or simply fascinated by how industries evolve, this episode offers a framework for understanding where the next generation of winners will emerge.
