If you can make it easier to consume, people will consume more of it.
media bigs impulse
I'm a big believer that media is an impulse business.
different looks pay
If you take a look at the way the premium content is monetized, there's a lot of different models out there. Sometimes you pay for an individual episode, for example on iTunes. Other times you pay for a subscription. And other times it's free ad-supported.
care shows brands
Hulu is about the shows, not the networks. The shows are the brands that users care about.
thinking people focus
My prediction is that in the same way that Google is an intent revealing service that can be monetized that way, I would think that if I were at Twitter, I would focus on the search aspect of Twitter, because people are revealing intents when they do a search.
book entrepreneur guy
I tried to do everything I could to study Walt Disney. I would read every book I could on the company, and then I found out more about him as a person, as an entrepreneur, and it was just fascinating to me that this guy was able to live a great life with his family but also do these amazing things at work.

CBS was very generous in their offer to re-sign me. But I simply want to try something new.

Early access is very valuable, there are a lot of consumers who would love to see something early.
culture impossible sometimes
Cultures are not very easy to change. They're sometimes almost impossible to change.
world way looks
Look at the world around you & imagine it in a better way.
team mean impossible
It is impossible to state in words how much this team means to me, how much Hulu means to me.
guy noodles slippers
I'm not the kind of guy who dabbles in a lot of things.
strong thinking challenges
I think challenge for Facebook is to develop a culture that has the advertiser and the ad service be as strong a part of their culture as the user obsession is.
jobs school months
I took a job at the Walt Disney Company and after 18 months decided to go to business school at Harvard. I was awestruck by the campus. My first reaction was I dont belong here. Then I said, Im here; lets get on with it.
