Ken Burns Nov 27, 2024

Show notes

Our host Dan Bova has been lucky enough to interview Ken Burns several times over the past few years. Burns, as you know, is quite the filmmaker, whose documentaries like “The Civil War,” “Baseball,” and “The Vietnam War” have earned him five Emmys and two Oscar nominations.

He just premiered his latest work, the four-hour film “Leonardo da Vinci” — which he co-directed with his daughter, Sarah Burns and her husband, David McMahon — about the extraordinary life and work of the artist. So we thought this would be a good time to dig into an interview Dan did with Ken while he was promoting the Vietnam War documentary. Ken had so many incredible things to say about his process, the art of storytelling, and the state of entrepreneurship in America that we didn’t have room for in the Entrepreneur magazine interview, so we went back to the tape and pulled out some incredible highlights from the cutting room floor for you to check out.

"The Walking Dead" Turns 21 Oct 30, 2024

Show notes

This being Halloween season, we thought it was the perfect time to speak with the business brains behind one of the most successful and goriest franchises of all time, “The Walking Dead.”

David Alpert is the co-founder and CEO of Skybound, the home of “The Walking Dead” and many other titles including “Invincible.” He built the company with legendary comic book creator Robert Kirkman, who began TWD comic series 21 years ago.

That’s right, the Walking Dead is finally old enough to drink. And with stats like these, it deserves a celebratory glass of the good stuff:

Most watched show on basic cable ever in the U.S.
Over 330 episodes across 7 live-action TV series
Most watched serialized show on Netflix with 1.3 billion viewing hours
$1 billion in revenue from gaming alone
