Cal Newport

He came up through ABC.

ABC Sports is how he got started.

And doing Olympic coverage and stuff like that.

And then became head of programming at ABC.

And then ABC got bought by Capital Cities.

And he kind of became number two at Capital Cities.

And then Disney bought...

Capital City is ABC and he was like number three at Disney for a while and then eventually took over for Michael Eisner.

I like media right now.

I'm liking media company like business memoirs because like we have a media company.

So it sounds it's interesting to me.

It's definitely of its time because it was right before the pandemic.

so like here it's all this like 2019 stuff.

He's talked about all these events, like when this book came out and, and you're just like, Oh, I know what happens next.

But like, obviously he did it when the book came out.

It was also from that time where you felt like if you were writing this book, which I don't think it's the case now, if you're writing a book as like a business leader, then you have to like go through every issue that'd be relevant under the, the general rubric of like political correctness or wokeness.

And we would have to like make a,

long treatment of each of them of like, let me talk about, you know, X, let me talk about how I dealt with like harassment.

Let me talk about how I talked about like racial inclusion in my movies.

Let me talk about, it was at a time where you had to go through and like hit all these points, even though it was a little out of place in a business memoir, but you had to make these big statements.
