I couldn’t agree more with this testimony 💡 100% aligned with his approach to changing paths, which doesn’t always have to stem from conflict or be something to regret. Sometimes it’s simply about being wise and brave, but most importantly, being honest with yourself, with where you are (company/team/place/time), and staying true to your values, your vision, and the things you love to do most. ❤️ Thanks for sharing, Marc! #careerchange #talent #careerdevelopment #decisionmaking #newopportunities #peoplefirst #everydaylearning #wednesdaymotivation

Netflix has reported its second-quarter earnings, surpassing analysts' expectations with notable subscriber growth. This performance underscores the company's strong position within the streaming industry. However, the outlook for the third quarter appears to be more cautious, with revenue forecasts falling slightly short of expectations. Needham Senior Entertainment Analyst Laura Martin provided insights on these developments during her appearance on "Bloomberg Technology" alongside Caroline Hyde and Ed Ludlow. As the streaming landscape continues to evolve, it will be essential to monitor how Netflix navigates these challenges while maintaining its subscriber base. #Netflix #EarningsReport #StreamingIndustry #MarketAnalysis ---------------------- Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/eqrfQ4tT

I recommend watching this video 👇🏼 Over a year ago, I made one of the toughest decisions of my career: I chose to leave a company I had spent 15 incredible years with, a place I loved deeply—and still do. It was a decision I thought I might regret forever, but as Marc Randolph so powerfully explains, sometimes leaving is exactly what we need to grow. A year before I left, I reached a huge milestone—joining the Executive Leadership Team. It was something I had dreamed of since I first walked through those doors. I felt pride, fulfillment, and a sense of completeness that, at the time, seemed like the pinnacle of my journey. But in chasing that goal, I lost sight of something even more important: whether I still enjoyed the journey itself. I realised that while my love for the company hadn’t faded, my passion for the work had. I noticed changes in myself—I became defensive, I started taking things personally, and slowly, I didn’t recognise the person I was at work anymore. When self-doubt and apathy started to creep in, I knew it was time for something new. I’ve always believed that no matter how challenging the day, you should wake up with a sense of excitement for what you do. For me, that spark is non-negotiable. It’s what fuels my creativity, my energy, and my desire to contribute meaningfully to any organisation. Now, after moving on, I’ve rediscovered that fire. I can see more clearly where I add value and where I don’t. I know where to focus my energy, where to step back and let others take the lead, when to speak up, and when to listen. Leaving a company you love isn’t easy, but sometimes it’s exactly what you need to rediscover yourself. It can be one of the most empowering decisions you’ll ever make.

Share price and intrinsic value are rarely equal. Still want to have Netflix though but the service is not available in China with a population of over 1.4bn. If Netflix could be in China that would probably make the share price double. Possibly too hard to make Netflix happen in China with all the China-specific requirements and the content would need to be Chinafied with local content.

I recently encountered an issue with Netflix 📺 that I believe deserves attention. A family member accidentally 💣 upgraded our subscription from the Basic to the Standard plan. While I appreciate 👏 Netflix's flexibility 💪🏻 in allowing mid-cycle 🔁 upgrades, the new billing date 📅 has been pushed up to June 11th from June 26th. However, Netflix doesn’t allow downgrades ⬇️ mid-cycle. Mistakes 😣 happen, and if upgrades are permitted at any time 🕰️, there should also be a way to rectify them. Now, I have fewer days on my current billing 💵 cycle, which just doesn't seem fair. Netflix should take this matter seriously 😟 and find a way to address 📢 these kinds of customer concerns. I wonder how many others have faced this issue. This needs to be discussed more broadly so that Netflix understands and resolves this real problem 😌. #netflix

This is a capstone project I made on Netflix in which the problem to be solved was to decrease the number of inactive users from 10% to 5% or less. https://lnkd.in/gaPMdxWQ

Netflix plans compared: how to best balance price and features: Don’t pay too much for Netflix. Don’t get less than you need. Here’s how the Standard with Ads, Standard, and Premium plans stack up. I don’t mean to brag, but I’ve gotten pretty awesome at jumping back and forth between Netflix rate plans. http://dlvr.it/TBRmTz

The first market Netflix invested outside the US was Latin America, back in 2011. I worked on the development of Netflix's 2nd Brazilian series, "Samantha!", back in 2016. Netflix didn't have a team in Brazil, so I was dealing with LA for the entire run of the development room. It was a fantastic working experience. The reason for investing in LATAM first? According to Netflix's VP, "Latin America has a passion for television, very high penetration in cable. Also there is a high consumption and love in Latin America for North American content." North American content includes Canada. I think it's time for the Canadian industry to stop exclusively looking to the US as their one and only target market and realize there are other countries to approach. And... guess what? There are Latinos living in Canada, and we watch tv too ;) https://lnkd.in/dUxpdyer

Cutting prices isn't always bad. Especially if it doesn't hurt your bottom line. But how? Netflix is a classic example. In the late 90s, Netflix disrupted the market with no late fees and unlimited DVD rentals for a flat monthly fee. This strategy hurt Blockbuster, which relied heavily on late fees. Netflix’s smart move? Redesigning the pricing unit from per DVD to per month of entertainment consumption.
