Spotify founder Daniel Ek to the CEO of Uber: “Since when is life about happiness?” When Dara Khosrowshahi was offered the job of Uber CEO, he consulted his long-time friend Daniel Ek, the founder of Spotify. Dara told Daniel that he was already happy being the CEO of Expedia, to which Daniel replied, “Since when is life about happiness? It’s about impact. You can have an impact on Uber, which is a really important company in the world that’s shaping the future of cities.” Daniel expands on what he meant by his advice to Dara: “I think happiness is a trailing indicator of impact . . . and impact is something that’s deeply personal to you. Only you can define what impact means for you . . . What was obvious for me, with someone like Dara, was he was content. He wasn’t happy. Knowing him for a while, he had gone through a phase where he had a lot of ups and downs with Expedia, and he mostly figured it out . . . Life was good. It was really easy. But there was an element of him — and you could hear it in his voice — where he was sort of like . . . ‘Why aren’t you going to go for greatness?’ ‘Why aren’t you going to test yourself?’ Because if you succeed this could be huge and you don’t really get many of these chances in your life.” Daniel continues: “But with another person, I might have given totally different piece of advice. So I don’t think it’s a universal truth. But I do think the universal truth is that happiness trails impact and impact is something that’s highly unique. It could be something innate in you. It could be having impact on other people. It could be having impact by being a great father around your kids. I don’t pretend to know that there’s one game to play or one universal truth of life. I certainly believe for entrepreneurial types — probably more like myself — this is really one of those key things: consider impact.” Video source: David Senra (2025)

What do you do when everything you’ve built is taken from you as a child? Dara Khosrowshahi was 9 when his family fled Iran… Today, he’s the CEO of Uber. For those who don’t know him, Dara is one of the most influential tech leaders. He led Uber through one of the biggest cultural and financial turnarounds in Silicon Valley, transforming it from a company in crisis to one with stability and growth. I didn’t want to sit down with Dara to talk about quarterly earnings or strategy decks, but rather understand how someone rebuilds their life when their foundation gets ripped away. Dara brought me through how he reshaped Uber’s culture and why honesty became his greatest asset as a leader. One of the most practical takeaways was Dara’s “direct channels” framework - a system he uses to get unfiltered feedback from deep inside the company. He meets regularly with engineers and teams far removed from the boardroom, because they’re the ones who see what’s really happening. It’s how he avoids echo chambers and keeps his decisions rooted in reality, and it’s something any business owner can apply.

Then when Senator Ali Ndume, who is from the same constituency as Daniel Bwala D. H Bwala talked about him, he called him a “mad dog that bites its owner.” This was when Daniel Bwala was still running around the Presidency looking for an appointment, which he eventually got. And now, his new job seems to be helping the Presidency insult people.
