👉 The Scoop – John Cuddihy (his name rhymes with Kennedy) has been at the forefront of the media industry since he joined Warner’s interactive TV service. At Disney, he helped create the Latin American cable industry. At Katz Television he helped diversify the U.S. Hispanic market.
👉 Decisive Moment #1 – While at Esty (an ad agency) he had two offers: Cosmo –a very prestigious magazine at the time—and a totally unproven interactive TV channel from Warner. He chose the future.
👉 Unexpected change or event – The rapid demise of cable television.
👉 What did he do? – John teaches at UM (The University of Miami) and emphasizes three major points: Content is king but it’s not everything, streaming is the future and profitable customer acquisition is basic.
👉 About older workers – When you hire an older person, you’re only going to hire a good one. With a 22-year-old you don’t know. With an older person, you know what you’re hiring.
