Telling his story in energetic, compelling prose, Marc chronicles the personal and professional labors That went into the creation of the company That has disrupted the very foundations of the entertainment industry.
From having to pitch his own mother on being an early investor, to a motel business conference room That served as a first office, to helping develop Netflix\'s now-famous company culture, Marc Randolph\'s improbable journey exemplifies how anyone with grit, gut instincts and determination can transform the world we live in.
Now with over 150 million subscribers the triumph of Netflix feels inevitable, but at a time when brick and mortar video rental stores were king and DVD technology had yet to take off, its success was far from guaranteed.
