Here’s What New Paramount Should Really Do
from Martini Shot Hosted by Ricochet
Rob Long’s experience with Paramount goes back so far, he was there in the Gulf and Western days. He was there when Barry Diller fought Sumner Redstone for the company in 1994 for the company — and lost. He’s seen Viacom and CBS and everything in between. So as David Ellison takes over the storied company, Rob has a key piece of advice, if the young mogul is willing to listen: think small and watch Brad Pitt’s Moneyball. Because when you succeed at small, the big will take care of itself.
