Anatomy of a Disruptor: Is Ricky Gervais Hollywood’s Elon Musk?
from The Trendaddy (formerly The McFuture) · host Steve Faktor
What is a disruptor? What does it take to be one? And do you have what it takes? This episode attempts to define the five characteristics of true disruptor. It was inspired by Ricky Gervais's hilarious, defiant monologue at the Golden Globes, where he skewered Hollywood hypocrisy. So did Ricky disrupt Hollywood? If not, what did he do? And what will it take? And who is the real deal? Lots of great stuff here. As an experiment, this episode is also available on video here and directly on YouTube. If you like it and share it, I'll do more. (Yeah, I know the audio got a bit wonky. The external mic wasn't activated. Won't happen again.) All of this is a lot of work.
