Netflix shouldn't have survived.In 1997, Blockbuster owned home entertainment—9,000 stores, a business fueled by late fees, and a brand that felt untouchable. Netflix was a scrappy DVD-by-mail experiment that almost sold itself off to stay alive.So how did Netflix win?In this conversation, Reed Hastings breaks down the behind-the-scenes decisions that helped the business thrive: the uncomfortable leadership choices, the culture blueprint that surprised corporate America, and a near-catastrophic misstep that could have blown the whole thing up.Reed also talks about what shaped him long before Netflix: being a late-bloomer, teaching in the Peace Corps, learning humility from a former boss, and the painful management mistakes he made while building his first company.This is a masterclass in: challenging the status quo, choosing a culture on purpose, and making big bets without pretending you're always right.What you'll learn: Why Netflix's early “obvious” advantages weren't enough—and how close it came to dyingThe leadership lesson Reed learned from a CEO who was admirable… but strategically wrongWhy Reed says the best companies are like championship sports teams: if you can't perform at peak, leaveThe “keeper test” and how it changed corporate cultureThe Qwikster fiasco: what went wrong, and how Netflix moved to prevent future misstepsBuilding a House of Cards: How Netflix made the leap to original contentReed on the media landscape: The remote-control moment of truth, rival streamers, and the rise of AITimestamps:00:08:06 — “I was a late bloomer.” Reed on why no one saw greatness coming00:09:30 — Peace Corps in Swaziland, and the moment he nearly quit00:11:23 — An unforgettable lesson learned from the CEO who washed Reed's coffee cups00:14:39 — Building his first company in a cold cabin—no internet, just obsession and proof of concept00:16:48 — Reed's early struggles as a manager: “Too busy chopping wood to sharpen the axe.”00:24:11 — Blockbuster's late-fee pain and an early bet on DVDs00:44:47 — The dot-com crash… and the $50M LVMH round that saved Netflix (barely)00:47:12 — A possible Blockbuster buyout: “We probably would've taken any offer.”00:56:18 — The Netflix culture deck: “We're not a family,” and why that shook people up01:05:07 — The Qwikster crisis, and the backlash that humbled Reed01:19:33 — The competition: Netflix is just

My guest today is Reed Hastings, the co-founder and former longtime CEO of Netflix. Netflix is an example of two ideas that everyone talks about, but are extremely hard to do in practice. The first is finding a simple idea and taking it extraordinarily seriously. Reed talks about how even the DVD business was nothing more than a stepping stone toward streaming, which they envisioned from the company's inception in 1997. The second is talent density, and what it actually takes to set and sustain an exceptionally high bar over decades as a company grows.  We talk about how those ideas shaped Netflix's culture and strategy, what Reed learned from mistakes like Qwikster, and why Netflix treated content like a venture portfolio. We also discuss Reed's work today. He shares how he's thinking about AI, what he's learned from serving on the boards of Microsoft, Meta, Anthropic, and Bloomberg, and what excites him about Powder Mountain, the ski resort he acquired after Netflix.

When companies change names, sometimes they stick. Google introduced Alphabet six years ago, and it seems to have worked out. Netflix tried to introduce Qwikster a decade ago, and it definitely didn't. Now, Facebook is taking on Meta as its new corporate name. Marketplace’s Kimberly Adams speaks with Anthony Shore, a linguist who founded the company Operative Words to name companies and products. He said that when it comes to a corporate rebrand, Meta … pretty much works.

Join the Acquired Limited Partner program! https://kimberlite.fm/acquired/(works best on mobile)   We complete our two-part Netflix special with the company’s bold transition to streaming, including of course the most (in)famous spin-out in business history. Rising from the ashes of Qwikster, we chronicle Netflix’s rebirth as a media company and long journey back to the top of the FAANG mountaintop!   Links: Netflix’s Qwikster apology video: https://youtu.be/c8Tn8n5CIPk SNL parody of the apology video: https://bit.ly/2PWEyyZ Evolution of Netflix home page: https://read.bi/2KvHdte The Chaos Monkey: https://bit.ly/1qkqDxZ  Benedict Evans’ chart of FAANG stocks: https://bit.ly/2r3D72A   Carve Outs: Ben: Kevin Rose interviews Matthew Walker on sleep: https://bit.ly/2LpIl5v David: Justin O’Beirne on Apple’s new Maps: https://bit.ly/2zrQ76Z   Sponsor: Thanks to Silicon Valley Bank for sponsoring all of Acquired Season 3.

This week we literally had to fight off a curse which included coffee spills, jacked up audio, and a mid-recording spider ambush in order to bring you this glorious content. We've got our Fall Tv Preview, complete with the return of everyone's favorite game segment, What Fresh Hell is This???? We talk about the Military Industrial Television Complex, Young Sheldon, Super Magicians turned FBI Agents, single cam sitcoms, Reboots, and so much more. Spoiler alert, we're not happy about any of it. Then for our B segment, it's time for a Hatewatch Holiday: Qwikster Day. Announced on Sept 18th, 2011, Netflix made a life choice that they regretted and rectified by October 10th, 2011. Kelsey has had this day marked on her google calendar ever since. We chose to commemorate this mistake by watching the new Netflix Original: The Adventures of Bobby Draper. Sorry, I meant White Gold. We've got grown men peeing their pants and other stuff that helps us keep our explicit rating. Spoiler alert: We don't hate it as much as we should have. Mark your calendars for next year!

For as long as your High Five hosts have been alive, network and cable television have dominated the airwaves. Then Netflix came onto the scene, and while movie distributors were shakin' in their booties, TV execs were laughing and thinking they were untouchable. But NO MORE! In this episode, J & Q dive into the streaming service's back-catalog to dig out the Top 5 Netflix Orginal Programming Shows. You're going to want to fire up your queue before starting this episode because these are the best shows that Netflix has to offer, and if you haven't watched them, people will laugh at you and not want to come to your birthday party. When we aren't talking about Netflix and all the great options on it, we stray wildly from our conversation to talk about how Hulu and Amazon Prime stack up, which upcoming shows we are most excited about, and then a whole bunch of other stuff that you will most definitely care about. Finally, Q & J partake in a rousing game of "Notflix" where they pitch similar-sounding monthly services that are most definitely not going to be as popular as Netflix (but may be more popular than Qwikster......ha, remember Qwikster?!?!?!). Will this episode be a 94% match for you? The only way to find out is to Netflix and Chill with us. (Seriously, Qwikster was the worst...what were they thinking?)

This week Jesse and Kevin talk about safes, documents, computers, Half-Life 3 confirmed, reinventing the bus, terrible startups, GOOP, Qwikster, grocery stores, where we buy clothes, underwear wearing out, stinky shorts. (Recorded on June 19, 2017.) Links Valve's The Orange Box has some good games. Valve and Zappos both have a flat corporate structure. Lyft invents a city bus for rich people. An Uber board member resigned after sexist comments. Planet of the Apps had a very gross ad on Twitter. Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop brand is stupid. Amazon bought Whole Foods.

After years of building its subscriber base with a vast library of content, Netflix is making a risky bet that will see it lose thousands of popular movies in favor of exclusive titles. Is the company making another Qwikster-like mistake or preparing itself for a bright, new future?
