Scaling Creativity with Marc Andreessen and Shonda Rimes

Ғылым және технология

Hollywood and Silicon Valley seem so different, but are more alike than we think. What challenges do tech startup founders and other creative founders -- like showrunners and executive producers -- similarly face? Both have to deeply understand and respect their audiences; learn how to scale themselves beyond one person; and even figure out how and when to use data... or follow their intuitions.
In the end, it’s all about creating a story (product!) that sticks.
In this conversation with Andreessen Horowitz cofounder and general partner Marc Andreessen, Shonda Rhimes -- executive producer, writer, creator of hit 100+ episode shows hows like Grey’s Anatomy and Scandal, and founder of the media company Shondaland -- shares the mindsets that drive her to pitch ideas, think about new mediums, and what happens when make believe veers too close to reality.
Rhimes is the recipient of several industry awards and accolades, including a Golden Globe for Outstanding Television Drama, the Peabody Award, Time 100 most influential people, Fortune's “50 Most Powerful Women in Business", and lifetime achievement awards from the Directors Guild of America, the Writers Guild of America, and the Producers Guild of America. She has been inducted into the National Association of Broadcasters Broadcasting Hall of Fame and to the Television Academy of Arts & Sciences Hall of Fame. She is also the creative director of Dove’s #RealBeauty campaign and authored NYT bestseller Year of Yes.

PULL QUOTES
"It's about people who are passionate about what they do, who are going to sort of eat, sleep and breathe it. I also like people who know how to have a life outside, because the more creative you can be on the outside, the more you bring to the inside."

    When I binge watch, “it’s brutal.” I start and continue watching into night, into morning and the days come and go around. So, I am careful, because this is the same way I read 📚 books. So, preparation and awareness of when to start watching is very important.🎉

    @@firethoughts5193 Of course it is. Shonda Rhimes is bringing the Bridgerton series to Netflix. Even Julia Quinn is looking forward to it. It will be on Netflix hopefully by the end of the year as filming has already wrapped.
