When I first got there where it was like, no, look at what's happening with Napster. Like you need to protect your content from being pirated and, but that was, the extent of it. And so what we focused on was content protection, which is of course, very important. And also, you know, a little bit younger where I was looking at these technologies as all opportunity, and when I first got to 20th century Fox, those new technologies were terrifying to the senior executives where, it was like an existential threat. I mean, it was, such, an interesting conversation because I came at it, being. Talking about how do we work with Netflix and then subsequently with, Hulu. Let's pause there because I'd love to hear some of what it was like being in the room when 20th century Fox. I sat at the table when we were first talking about doing the deals with Netflix and when Hulu was being created, as a joint venture. I was able to kind of keep worming my way through, always focused on. And so I was able to worm myself through the entire organization on the film side, on the TV side, digital, you know, I, I worked in our mobile company. So I was really interested in how technology was going to potentially change. ,so I got in through the business development group at 20th century Fox, Like, I didn't know how to get myself in there. So, um, that definitely dates me to back in the early days of the internet, but it ties into this story because I went to 20th century Fox, not thinking that I was going to be an entertainment executive, because I think if I had wanted to work at a film studio, when I was in business school, I would not have been able to do it. ![]()
