Message from Fred Seibert (former president of Hanna-Barbera and Frederator):
"You’ve already failed."
That’s what Ted Turner told me after I blew through $10,000,000.
Most CEOs would have shown me the door. But Ted wasn’t most CEOs. He was a "swashbuckling pirate" who understood something most MBA types miss: In creative industries, talent rules, and gambling is required.
I went back to him asking for another $10 million for a wild idea: making 48 short cartoons instead of one big hit.
His response changed the course of animation history. It led to:
• Dexter’s Laboratory
• Johnny Bravo
• Powerpuff Girls
• Courage the Cowardly Dog
• And more!
Working for a genius like Ted meant surviving the rants to witness the "leaps of magic." He didn't just build CNN and Cartoon Network; he built a world where entrepreneurs were encouraged to take 48 swings at the bat.
Rest in peace, Ted. Thanks for the $10M (and the second $10M).
