Roku: Anthony Wood

It's amazing the number of media company executives that didn't think streaming would be popular. They just thought there's nothing wrong with cable and satellite, the world is not gonna change. When it was so clear that of course it's gonna change. The internet has disrupted every industry and it's gonna disrupt video as well. In fact I see it as a pretty big competitive advantage that people underestimate us and so They're always surprised when they lose.

Welcome to How I Built This, a show about innovators, entrepreneurs, idealists, and the stories behind the movements. They built. I'm Guy Roz and on the show today, how Anthony Wood helped transform the way we watch television. First with the D VR. And then with Roku.

A massive streaming platform with a remote that's simple enough. for your grandparents to figure out. Big impact on how we live our lives. So Starbucks is an obvious one.
