Episode 7:
Jane Friedman joins Evan and guest co-host Dan to talk through
her publishing career as an “experienced” entrepreneur after holding the CEO
role for 10 years at Harper Collins. Jane is remarkable for her ability to excel as a CEO where she trusts her gut over any financial model. Jane has a vendetta against spreadsheets as you will hear. As she discusses her new business Open Road Integrated Media, tune in to Jane’s warning that
“starting a company from zero…Man, that is a whole another game. I had no
idea”. Jane also addresses the role gender played in her career and
answers whether Rupert Murdoch reads.
Evan and Dan open the show with their own assessment of the
issues that Michael Lewis brought to the public around High Frequency Training
and compares it to buying a bike on Black Friday. Urologists continue to download the podcasts in droves for just this type of metaphor.
