"An entertaining chronicle of creativity, luck, and unflagging
perseverance."--Kirkus
"Engaging and insightful"--Reed Hastings, CEO of Netflix
"Marc is an unusually brave soul. Marc's genius in recognizing that
not knowing frees you to experiment and observe and to ultimately
win."--Lloyd Tabb, founder ofLooker
"Marc wastes no time cutting through the noise and identifying the
truth. Every moment I have spent with Marc, whether it was as he
formulated and launched Netflix or since then, has been truly
rewarding. Marc understands what is important whether it is your
product, your marketing, or your business plan. A remarkable and
one of a kind visionary."--Mitch Lowe, founder of RedBox
"Netflix was built on the vision and creative DNA of one man --
Marc Randolph. As the founding CEO, his leadership defined the
culture of Netflix and laid the groundwork for successive, global
revolutions in how we make and consume entertainment. His
willingness to step aside so that his co-founder Reed Hastings
could scale up the company stands as an example of humility and
self-knowledge that is rare in the startup world."--Gina Keating,
author of Netflixed: The Epic Battle for America's Eyeballs
