Important conversation to be had this afternoon, and i am thrilled to have the privilege to spend some time with our following guests. I want to be very clear, my goal was to discuss some concrete steps that this audience that is with us, the tens of thousands who are with us, and corporate america, what we can take to create some lasting change and benefit for minorities in this country and close the inequality gap in the boardroom and in peoples paychecks.

I have been a coceo for a while. It can work and it did work for me but it is challenging to be the sole ceo and be the coceo. When you talk to Reed Hastings, you realize he does not have a big ego.

Did you ever think it would become that big, that successful . Reed no, because then i would never have sold a share. You never know on that. Honestly, there has been a lot of luck along the way. Blockbuster could have wiped us out many times. When viacom spun off blockbuster in 2004, they saddled them with 1 billion of debt as their goodbye kiss. The covenant on that debt severely limited blockbuster when they attacked
