Pitching To Rupert Murdoch | My First Million Podcast

About this video

Sam recounts attending a News Corp executive summit during CES where Rupert Murdoch gathered CEOs from his portfolio companies (including Google, Slack, and Facebook executives) for a day-long speaker series. Sam was struck by Murdoch’s exceptional focus and attentiveness throughout the all-day event, contrasting his discipline with other executives who took breaks.

Key takeaways

• Sam observed that Rupert Murdoch demonstrated remarkable focus and endurance by remaining attentive throughout an entire 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. two-day event without breaks, while other executives wandered or stepped away
• A leader’s level of attention and focus can set the standard for an entire room and influence how engaged others remain, as evidenced by Murdoch’s presence keeping other executives more accountable
• News Corp structures learning across its portfolio by bringing together CEOs from major brands (Wall Street Journal, New York Post, Vox, Sky, realtor.com, Penguin Publishing) to hear from industry leaders on an off-the-record basis
