787: Mitch Lowe | Lessons in Disruption Part Two


Listen Later

Mitch Lowe (@mitch__lowe) is a co-founding executive of Netflix, the former CEO of MoviePass, the former president of Redbox, and the author of Watch and Learn: How I Turned Hollywood Upside Down with Netflix, Redbox, and MoviePass ? Lessons in Disruption. [This is part two of a two-part episode. You can find part one here!]

What We Discuss with Mitch Lowe:
  • How Netflix tested, marketed, and made its DVD-by-mail service work at a time when the profit margins were low and its brick-and-mortar competition was high.
  • How Redbox DVD rentals filled a consumer niche between Netflix and Blockbuster — and was so successful that one machine was being installed per hour for every hour of the day, three years in a row!
  • Redbox's loss-prevention and cost-capturing strategies for what were essentially unstaffed video vending machines in operation 24/7.
  • Obstacles Netflix and Redbox faced from business interests entrenched in the status quo (and how they were overcome).
  • Why Mitch once faked a heart attack to get out of a meeting with Walmart executives.
  • And much more...
