Marc is a veteran Silicon Valley entrepreneur, advisor, and investor—but you probably know him best as the co-founder and first CEO of Netflix. Under his leadership, Netflix grew from an idea sketched out on a car ride to a revolutionary company that transformed how the world consumes entertainment.   Marc is also the author of the bestselling book That Will Never Work: The Birth of Netflix and the Amazing Life of an Idea, where he shares the behind-the-scenes story of Netflix’s early days—and the lessons he learned about risk-taking, innovation, and resilience.   In addition to his work as a founder and thought leader, Marc is a sought-after speaker and mentor, passionate about helping the next generation of entrepreneurs turn their ideas into reality. He’s here today to talk about the highs and lows of building something from nothing, what it takes to keep believing in yourself, and why the words “that will never work” might just be the greatest motivation of all.   Learn more at marcrandolph.com.
