Kamal Ahmed and Rohan Silva lift the lid on the realities of starting your own business. Kamal and Rohan speak to founder and CEO of Netflix, Reed Hastings. Reed discloses the mistakes made in his first business and how he overcame them. They talk about what it took for Netflix to take on a company 100 times their size - and win. Plus why creative industries need to break away from work practices tailored to the industrial era and what that means for Netflix employees: no bonuses, no holiday limits and why being 'on the clock' doesn't apply. Presenters: Kamal Ahmed and Rohan Silva Producer: Georgia Catt

In this latest Index Ventures podcast, Richard Thaler, professor of behavioural science and economics at the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business, speaks to Rohan Silva, co-founder of Second Home, and Index’s Ventures’ Martin Mignot about behavioural economics and its lessons for entrepreneurs. Economist Richard H. Thaler’s bestseller Nudge: Improving Decisions about Health, Wealth and Happiness, co-authored with Cass R. Sunstein, shook up the world of economics in much the same way as great entrepreneurs take on incumbent businesses, and influenced world leaders including Barack Obama and David Cameron. To illustrate how humans require ‘nudges’ to improve their behaviour, Thaler famously cites how he once removed a bowl of cashew nuts from his dinner party guests to stop them filling up before dinner. “People were (a) happy, and (b) they realized their reaction conflicted with traditional economic theory,” he recently explained to Time magazine.
