Reed Hastings: Life After Netflix | First Time Founders with Ed Elson

[@GiantsOnTheHorizon]

So impressed Reid! What a dude for even giving this interview.

Ed, What a great insightful interview. It was such a gift to get to know the depth of Reed Hastings. Perfection! Keep it up. This is my kind of content

[@HassanWorld]

Listened this on Spotify instead on here. But Reed is A+. Insane how his co-authored book wasn’t even mentioned. Highly recommend the book to all.

[@LisaNirell]

Ed, this marks one of your finest interviews to date. Thank you for this episode and your commitment to educating us.🎉

[@Dimka2012Bo]

I love this, hope this show stays low profile and delivers incredible content

As a season pass holder at Pow Mow who does not live in area lots of interesting stuff here. I love new lifts coming on board, but the on mountain facilities are limited and I think amenities may influence the long term finances and real estate. If the resort is not crowded and the owners have express lift access anyway, then why make part of the mountain private? 2 of the 3 restricted lifts are hardly used anyway, so not convinced about that aspect. I also don’t think Epic and Ikon caused an increase in the skier population on its own. Its just gotten more popular in general, and ski vacations for a family are expensive regardless of ticket prices. Ikon are and Epic has definitely changed some skier behavior, but mostly its caused everybody to pay up front, like the subscription service Reed is talking about. Walk up prices were way cheaper before the passes. And Powder Mountain benefits from those high walk up rates because thats what they charge on day passes. So Pow Mow is economically free riding on pricing structure of Epic and Ikon.

[@Cedfer69]

Awesome interview....and even at my 77 years there was so much insight and learning

[@ReasonableHuman1]

amazing interview with Reed. He is such a huge persona

[@daves8628]

Great pod

[@jtrealfunny]

Great guest. What I most appreciate is how he seems like a real human being; sad that this mode is so rare these days. Compare this guy with any one of our corporate overlords (Musk, Dimon, Dalio, Bezos, Zuck or whichever finance spokesperson you see, they come off as Vulcan's in comparison with this guy; he seems more like a Buffet or Soros, someone just doing their best in business or the markets and strangely, somehow, avoiding the worst aspects of the corrupting tendency of wealth and power). Perhaps what's most remarkable about this guy is he doesn't need to run the biggest thing, grow forever, or take it Mars, he says he's as happy running his ski resort as he was growing Netflix; he also repeatedly mentions long term friendships/relationships through his career and speaks to the importance of liking and valuing the people he works with. That's some pretty advanced stuff in our dark times.

Loved the intro. Interview was work to grab brilliant bits. Fear and greed. Slow and speed. Etc

[@alexmacgregor]

Awesome guest!

[@parkergiblin6878]

Next time someone invites you to Powder Mountain, take the opportunity Ed

[@armanke13]

[@natedavis7159]

Great interview. Ed fucking killing it. Also super inspired by Reed per usual. Fresh

[@antknei]

Let's go ED!

[@Studeb]

Great interview, I keep forgetting that they were still shipping out DVDs until a year ago.

[@pohjiebarbosa]

I had Netflix in Hawaii in 2001. Saved us. Wish i wasn’t broke.

[@aaronhall5715]

I do miss the days of going around the video store on my way home from work. Convenience always comes at a cost...

[@donjohnson4368]

You two got perfect chemistry. More stocks and shares please

[@jonramos7726]

Reed! 🍻

[@prod-ijy]

dope interview

[@rapauli]

Nice interview -- if you decide to be serious about that period - talk with Rob Glaser - founder of Real Networks.

[@bozmobrum]

[@HKS-Digital]

Day 62: Please bring on Gary Stevenson (Garys Economics)! Thanks!

[@CedarSpringWolf]

Just skipping over his Peace Corps service?? I’m sure he’s got some great stories there.

[@rapauli]

Ed, did you forget to ask him about the risk of global warming --- and how it affects skiing?

[@moneyfindersllc6236]

Netflix is 'At Least' 17 BILLION DOLLARS In The Hole. Now tell me, how is That a good (Great/Excellent) investment???

[@swen3041]

Some deer were walking in the background out of Reed's window during the last min of the interview

[@Nicole-yy1kn]

Ed with his MDS would be surprised to hear how the Netflix founder praises great entrepreneurs especially Elon Musk

[@chrisnolke]

I hope my friends wouldn't claim I was on one end of a spectrum, especially the end that was all inspiration and no execution.

[@SamHoustonSF]

How's his glizzy taste?

[@andreaqui1653]

[@trooperscout535]
