Hi, it's Bob Safian. You've been hearing me as the host of rapid response in this feed for a few years now,

with short newsy interviews alongside the deeper dives of Masters of Scale. Well, I'm excited to share that rapid response is expanding into its own feed.

We'll be putting out shows twice a week, focusing on the urgent issues that business leaders are dealing with in real time.

So search for rapid response in your podcast player and subscribe to make sure you get all our episodes.

I'll see you on the other side. I'd now been running movie companies

for 18 years and if I'd never saw another script I would be a happy person. That's Barry Diller, former CEO of Paramount Pictures,

founder of Fox Broadcasting,

creator of the first TV movies and miniseries.

At the height of his career,

when another executive would be riding high on their success, he was bored.

Not just with his job, but the entire business of storytelling.

And this is a startling twist. Barry saying, I'm done with Scripps.

It's like my friend Elon Musk saying, I'm done with electric cars.

In his boredom, Barry was searching for a new idea, anything other than what he'd been doing for

the past 18 years.

I'd quit and it said, I don't know what I'm going to do but I'm going to drive around the country to

basically stop having to have meetings with people who wanted me to do the same old thing.

So Barry literally hit the road in search of a new career and that's

how he ended up here.

Have you ever wanted to listen to the radio in the shower?

We've got one of a kind a kind handbag available now, but only for a limited time.

Fantastic.
