In today’s episode, Shawn O’Malley (@Shawn_OMalley_) breaks down Alphabet — the parent company of Google, which is one of the most valuable companies in the world and probably an important part of your everyday life. Shawn explores how Google got its start, how Alphabet makes money from seemingly-free services like Gmail, Google Maps, and Google Earth, and what to make of how AI and regulatory threats could reshape Alphabet’s business model.

Shawn paints a high-level picture of the most important things to understand about this incredible business and then goes through his process for valuing each individual business unit at Alphabet. You’ll learn how Alphabet’s different business units are structured, how they make money, and how Shawn assembles a “sum-of-the-parts valuation” for the company, plus so much more!
