Continuing on from part one of my conversation with Bob Kavner, I am so excited to share with you this second and final installment of our insightful and educational discussion. As mentioned in the previous episode, Bob is a former CFO and multimedia chief at ‘AT&T’, as well as a prominent figure within other game-changing tech and multimedia startups such as ‘Pandora’, ‘Earthlink', Ticketmaster’ and many more.
Today, we dive into the fascinating story of how AT&T sold the rights to control the cellular & wireless revolution and had to buy it back by acquiring McCaw cellular in one of the largest acquisitions in US history at the time, how Bob approached making such a huge life decision when stepping down from his position at ‘AT&T’, why being exposed to entrepreneurs within the tech and media industry influenced him during the course of developing his own creative endeavors, as well as how the unique concept of ‘traumatizing’ has been utilized across businesses. Bob also shares the inspiration he has gained from his experiences with a variety of luminaries he’s worked with over the years, including Bill Gates, Bill Gross, Michael Ovitz, Sky Dayton, and Andy Grove, just to name a few.
