Episode notes

At Imagine, the hits kept coming with movies like Parenthood and Backdraft. Even though it was making hits, Imagine was a small company and making movies is expensive. In 1992, Ron and Brian made a deal to take the company private again. It was a chance to win back control of the company and refocus on their vision.

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.
