AppLovin CEO Adam Foroughi explains scaling to $160B market cap with $10M EBITDA per head through lean teams and AI-driven efficiency.

●	Founders chase winning over fear of loss; money motivates short-term but personal growth drives long-term success.

●	Cut bloated processes and staff 40-50% to rebuild AI-native organisations of doers who adopt tools rapidly.

●	Aggression outperforms kindness in business; sugarcoating wastes time and slows execution.

"the founder mentality has got to be chase winning." - Adam Foroughi
