Pick up the book guys. I have a funny feeling it will bring you value.

— Gary Vaynerchuk

Terrifically readable and poignant. In a narrative fashion, Marc debunks conventional but bad advice and then provides constructive, positive guidance. A “must have” for today’s entrepreneurs.

— Bill Aulet, Professor at MIT, Author of Disciplined Entrepreneurship

Great book! I’m not sure how to describe this book other than outstanding. I finished it in one go. As someone building a startup, I could resonate with so many parts of the story, including the scary parts (like losing your CEO status)

— 5 Star Amazon Review

Randolph’s new book That Will Never Work: The Birth of Netflix and the Amazing Life of an Idea (is) a delightful and insightful read, especially for budding entrepreneurs.

— Upoma Dutta, The Harbus

A fantastic book for anybody who wants to know how Netflix came to be. But also it’s inspirational for anybody who wants to start a company.

— Alison Kosik, CNN

A charming first-person account of the early days of one of the most successful tech startups ever.

— WSJ - Marc Levinson

Heartfelt, Inspirational, and Entertaining. Resonated especially strongly with me as a young person, early in my career, trying to find my passion and determine how much risk is appropriate at this point in my life.

— 5 Star Amazon Review

Marc Randolph is one of the rare few who is able to bridge his own distinct experience to a wider human narrative, and he does exactly this in That Will Never Work: The Birth of Netflix and the Amazing Life of an Idea.

— Kate Williams, CEO of 1% for the Planet

A front seat look at the birth of an iconic game-changing company, but this book offers something more, something most tech books don’t; this book has heart.

— 5 Star Amazon Review

An engaging and insightful glimpse into the first few years at Netflix.

— Reed Hastings, CEO Netflix

A must-read for any leader—especially during this time.

— Marc Metrick, President and CEO of Saks Fifth Avenue
