Episode notes

Imagine's distribution partner was making demands that threatened Ron Howard's ability to realize his vision of creating human-centered, entertaining, and artful movies. Without a distribution partner, Ron and Brian may be free to make films that reflected their vision of the art form. The only downside would be no one else could see those films. We'll find out what Ron and Brian did after the break.

How do you stay true to your vision for your company amid constant, unpredictable change? And how do you stay true to a singular vision, while also letting it evolve? These are questions every leader needs to consider as they rally people, resources and opportunities to make their vision a reality.

Celebrated filmmaker Ron Howard has a remarkable ability to maintain his vision of creating captivating and deeply human stories — while strengthening how he delivers this vision by incorporating changes in technology, audience tastes and styles of filmmaking.

In this episode you'll hear how Ron set out to deliver his vision through movie-making; how he and producer Brian Grazer co-founded Imagine Entertainment and made a string of visionary box office hits; and how Ron continues to embrace advances in technology to scale his vision.
