Reed Hastings spent years at the boardroom table for two of the most powerful companies in technology. He explains how he ended up on Microsoft's board in 2006: not because he was a top pick, but because most tech leaders competed with Microsoft and were conflicted — and Netflix, as a DVD-by-mail company, was simply not a threat. He reveals how Satya Nadella spent days embedded at Netflix studying its culture before becoming CEO of Microsoft. And on the Meta board for eight years, he watched Facebook's brand fall continuously despite every effort to reverse it — and says he never saw the light at the end of the tunnel on that particular brand.

King discusses the founding of womens professional tennis, the fight for equal prize money, her decades-long battle with an eating disorder, and how Title IX changed the landscape for female athletes forever. She also shares candid thoughts on the Williams sisters, the state of American tennis today, and why she considers World TeamTennis her greatest legacy.
A must-watch conversation with one of the most significant athletes and activists of the 20th century. Episode debuted nationwide in 2014.
