This week's episode covers a new set of topics. The conversation with Niel Robertson covers media, eSports, content distribution, marketing and a lot more. Niel started a software company out of his bedroom when he was 14 years old, and sold his first company in 1999 for $280 million when he was just 24. He has started and sold other companies to Twitter and Cisco. He started another large business that ultimately failed. He's been an investor, venture partner and serial entrepreneur. You can find more about Niel's background in the show notes.
As I often do, I cut the long background section from the interview so that we can get right to the meat of things. But Niel concluded that section saying, "I think it could all be summed up by saying I just like building things and I can't stop doing it." In addition to the overall media landscape, we discussed the role that the biggest media platforms will play and where other opportunities may exist. We cover digital collectible stored on the blockchain and what type of digital assets may be leased out to others. We close with the discussion of leadership, company structure, content creation, and something you should do each year. Please enjoy this unique conversation with Niel Robertson.
