Although best known for starting Netflix, Randolph’s career as an entrepreneur spans more than four decades. He’s been a founder of more than half a dozen other successful start-ups, a mentor to scores of early stage entrepreneurs and an investor in numerous successful tech ventures (and an even larger number of unsuccessful ones).

Packed with dozens of stories that trace the dramatic ups and downs of those first exciting years, Marc weaves an inspiring story that shows the value of innovation, persistence and optimism.

Along the way, he shares some of the many values that he believes made Netflix successful, including a focus on analytics and testing, its novel corporate culture and it’s almost fanatical obsession with focus.
