Two Time Emmy Winner Seth Shapiro: Building a Career Ahead of Disruption
Episode 3 of Your Career, Unscripted is out!
📽 Seth is a global leader in media and technology, and he has built an insanely unique and successful career at the heart of disruption.
💡 Seth's journey is a masterclass in anticipating industry shifts, taking calculated risks, following your intuition despite what everyone else thinks and says, and embracing change.
If you want to learn about these industries from someone who not only lived and worked through decades of dynamic innovation, but also spearheaded it, I recommend checking out the episode.

Here's a glimpse of what we covered:
Seth’s strategies in navigating his career in the evolving landscapes of music, television, gaming, tech, and digital media
His experience launching groundbreaking digital products like TiVo and NFL Sunday Ticket
His early advocacy for blockchain in media
Why media companies are struggling right now, and what Seth believes media companies can learn from tech companies
Advice for young people on “falling down the well, landing hard, getting up, and figuring out how to climb out of the well.”
Seth is bold, resilient, and innovative. He has worked at and with some of the most prestigious companies in the world. He is both an investor and entrepreneur. I am very much inspired by his dynamic and varied career - and I hope it inspires young people to believe they can do more than one thing - and that with a growth and fail forward mindset - you can engineer changes in not just your own career, but in entire industries.
My favorite quote from his episode - In talking about figuring out the early part of his career Seth thought “where's their room?” and concluded “The place that there's usually room is in the thing that hasn't happened yet.”
