About this listen

 This is Episode 1 of an 8-part series on the brutal business battle between Netflix and Blockbuster, and later HBO. It all started around 1997, with a guy named Marc Randolph and his mathematician friend Reed Hastings. Randolph and Hastings knew they’d have to take on Blockbuster, but what they didn’t anticipate was that their business model would take on network television and eventually change the entire movie industry. This was an 8-year total war that left innumerable casualties in its wake: thousands of hollowed out buildings and economic losses in the billions.

Excellent! Very enjoyable and learned some valuable lessons. Think it improves me as business owner and investor, just by listening.

Was hoping for interviews and a more docuseries approach. The writing is campy and overly dramatic, with very little research involved, if any at times.

Could be a lot better
