And then he pivoted, - and he pivoted many times throughout his career eventually becoming the main driver behind online dating- he got in early with Match.com and later his company bought plenty of fish, tinder and practically owned the dating sector.And though it all, Diller was this calm, very classy guy- it makes for a fascinating story, enjoy.
