How To Test Your Ideas For Success with Marc Randolph Hustling with Vivica A. Fox
-
- Society & Culture
How many times have you shared an idea with someone, and they told you “THAT WILL NEVER WORK!” How many people have trampled on your dreams and five years down the road, you see your idea implemented by someone else because you listened to the naysayers? Vivica speaks with Marc Randolph, a veteran Silicon Valley entrepreneur, advisor, investor, speaker, and best-selling author. Although best known as the co-founder and first CEO of Netflix, Marc’s career as an entrepreneur spans more than four decades. We discuss having a vision of your business, being focused, and finding a way to test your ideas. Marc dives into how he is currently helping entrepreneurs on his new podcast “That Will Never Work” and why he has so much fun sharing his expertise. Listen in and grab some inspiration. You have an ally that can move you into a new direction!
More about Marc: He also served on the Netflix board of directors until retiring from the company in 2003. Marc’s career as an entrepreneur spans four decades. He’s founded or co-founded six other successful startups, mentored hundreds of early-stage entrepreneurs, and as an investor has helped seed dozens of successful tech ventures (and just as many unsuccessful ones). Most recently, he co-founded analytics software company Looker Data Sciences, where he now serves as director. Outside of the tech and startup world, Marc sits on the boards of Chubbies Shorts, Augment Technologies, the environmental advocacy group 1% For The Planet, and the National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS), which he’s been involved with for most of his life. A resident of Santa Cruz, California, Marc travels and speaks all over the world, and still probably manages to go surfing more than you do.
That Will Never Work: The Birth of Netflix and the Amazing Life of an Idea
The real-life, totally improbable story of Netflix’s early days, told in Marc Randolph’s unconventional, engaging, inspiring style. A vivid primer on the realities of startup ventures, and a seriously entertaining read. Now an International Bestseller.
