Co-Founder of Netflix: When Reed Hastings said he is losing faith in me as CEO - a podcast by Todd Uterstaedt

Marc's new (relatively) book, "It Will Never Work" is really wonderful book. I like it because Marc seems to be very honest about him Reed Hastings and the birth and growth of Netflix. I'm not surprised since "radical honesty" is a hallmark of the culture at Netflix.

Marc was very revealing in this interview. He answers these questions:

• Why did he write and published his book so many years after he left Netflix?
• Why was his family such a big part of his startup success?
• Where did the title of his book come from?
• What happened when Marc shared his book with Reed Hastings (Co-Founder and Current CEO) before it was published?
• What does he mean by "radical honesty?"
• What were Marc's strengths and weaknesses as a Co-Founder and leader and what were and are Reed Hastings strengths and weaknesses as a Co-Founder and leader?
• What REALLY happened when Reed Hastings told Marc that he does not think Marc can lead the company by himself any more?
• What is his advice to Founders who are told they are not a good fit leading the company they started?
• How can fast-growth Founders stay close to the customer when they are so busy?
• What does Marc think about the recent emergence of HBOMax as a competitor to Netflix?
