Reflections on Legacy and Audience-Centric Entertainment

Netflix Co-CEO Ted Sarandos started his career as somewhat of a human movie recommendation algorithm. At his video rental store job in Phoenix, Sarandos had a reputation among locals for knowing exactly which films they've enjoyed in the past, and which other titles in the store they might want next. These days, he's one of the most powerful people in Hollywood, leading the $310 billion entertainment behemoth that started the streaming wars: Netflix. Sarandos sat for an interview for "The David Rubenstein Show: Peer to Peer Conversations" and discussed how Netflix evolved from mailing DVDs to making award-winning original programming. This interview was recorded September 19 at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg Center in Washington DC.
