Description
Marc Randolph knows how to put ideas into plans that result in reality.
Event Details
The cofounder of Netflix, and numerous other entrepreneurial endeavors, gives this advice to people with bright ideas: Run with them. Don’t try to be perfect. Change things along the way.
Randolph, a popular culture game-changer, will be the second speaker in the Muma College of Business Thought Leader Series. His presentation is scheduled for Feb. 21 at the USF Oval Theatre inside the Marshall Center. The inaugural guest of the series, Steve Wozniak, founder of the Apple computer, drew about 2,400 to the Yuengling Center this past February. Similarly, Randolph is expected to draw a capacity crowd.
The Muma College of Business Thought Leader Series was established to draw nationally recognized speakers, innovators, idea generators, entrepreneurs, philanthropists, authors and "turn-around artists" in business and industry for informal talks that include questions from the audience. And Randolph fits all the qualifications.
He and Reed Hastings came up with the idea for Netflix in the late 1990s and melded new technology with an old standby. The initial plan was to mail, via the U.S. Postal Service, movie DVDs to members, who would watch them and mail them back. It would be years before the forward-thinking company would evolve into streaming movies, television shows, documentaries and award winning original programming into homes via modems and cable boxes. Netflix is widely credited for forging the path into this new realm that has revolutionized television viewing.
At the conclusion of the event, Randolph will respond to a limited number of audience questions submitted via Twitter using the event hashtag: #USFMumaTLS.
This event is free and open to the public, but reservations are required. This event is expected to sell out, so tickets are limited to two tickets per guest.
FAQs
