Entrepreneur Speaker and Netflix Co-Founder Marc Randolph is shining in the limelight — he recently made international headlines for his inspiring messages to young entrepreneurs and startup businesses during his recent speaking event in Riyadh. 

Following the event, Randolph was featured in Arab News and The Arab Times, praised for his words of wisdom. His main message is that in order to create a successful business, the trick is you just have to start. 

In his interview video on Arab News, Randolph says “what separates every entrepreneur from the rest of the dreamers in the world is they’ve stopped thinking and started doing.” Once a dreamer with “no money and a bad idea,” Randolph worked on creating an online subscription business for ordering DVDs by mail and called it Netflix– now it’s the most successful subscription company in the world, worth billions of dollars. 

“The cleverness these days is not just coming up with a good idea, but being able to figure out a quick, cheap, and easy way to try something, to build something, to make something, to test something, and find out tomorrow if your ideas are good or not,” said Randolph, quoted in The Arab Times. 

Marc Randolph is a veteran Silicon Valley entrepreneur, advisor, and investor, whose career as an entrepreneur spans four decades. In addition to being the co-founder and first CEO of Netflix, Randolph has founded or co-founded six other successful startups, mentored hundreds of early-stage entrepreneurs, and as an investor has helped seed dozens of successful tech ventures (and just as many unsuccessful ones). He is host of the top-10 Apple podcast That Will Never Work, where he works directly with entrepreneurs to provide 1-on-1 mentoring. He lives in Santa Cruz, California.
