One of the best gifts I was ever given. When I was twenty-one years old, fresh out of college and about to start my first job, my father gave me a handwritten list of instructions. Here are my dad’s rules for success: > Do at least 10% more than you are asked. > Never, ever, to anybody, present as fact, opinions on things you don’t know. Take great care and discipline. > Be courteous and considerate always— up and down. > Don’t knock, don’t complain—stick to constructive, serious criticism. > Don’t be afraid to make decisions when you have the facts on which to make them. > Quantify where possible. > Be open-minded but skeptical. > Be prompt. I’ve passed these same rules on to my own children and the original copy hangs next to my bathroom mirror.

It's hard being a leader. Especially in an early stage company, where leadership often requires that every few weeks you have to make a pivotal, game-changing decision based on incomplete, inconclusive, or ambiguous information. In my book That Will Never Work, I write about the brutal decision we made early on at Netflix to stop selling DVDs, which at the time accounted for 95% of our revenue, and focus entirely on making our nascent rental business successful. I leave one important detail out: the name of my mentor, a deeply experienced leader who provided indispensable advice and gave me the confidence to move forward with a non-intuitive decision. Alright. I'll tell you. It was Ernest Shackleton. The British polar explorer got trapped in Antarctic pack ice in 1915, and faced an impossible choice on his ice floe "Ocean Camp": stay comfortable until the inevitable happened and the floe broke apart, or abandon it while his men were still strong and attempt a desperate 800-mile journey across stormy Antarctic seas in open lifeboats. Seventy-five years later, just one year into the Netflix experiment, we faced a similar choice: Should we keep selling DVDs until Amazon got into the game, and that comfortable existence slowly but surely disappeared? Or abandon our comfortable perch and invest all our efforts in rental, a completely unproven market? As I wrestled with how the company should proceed, I thought back to Shackleton on the ice floe. The great explorer eventually decided that his best opportunity to save his crew was to take the chance, no matter how slim the odds. In April of 1916, he and his men finally left Ocean Camp behind, setting off on one of the most remarkable stories of survival and leadership ever. Netflix, too, piled everything into open boats, abandoned the deceptively comfortable business of selling DVDs, and bet everything on rental. Shackleton's lesson to me was as a simple one—and something that I have taken to heart ever since. It's far better to take the long shot at uncertain but momentous success, than to take the sure shot at mediocrity. Or to put it somewhat differently, it's when you're most comfortable that you're most vulnerable. Shackleton ended up coming ashore in hurricane-force winds, thirty-two miles from the whaling station where he'd find respite and rescue. He and his men traveled the last leg of the journey over mountainous Antarctic terrain, armed only with a carpenter's adze and fifty feet of rope. But they made it. And although no one at Netflix had to pick up an oar, chop through ice, or hammer nails into the bottoms of their shoes to grip the terrain of the South Pole, I like to think that we did, too.

FYI. Voice memos drive me crazy. They shift all the work from sender to receiver. You hit record and ramble for 3 minutes while I’m stuck listening with no way to skim. You’re trading YOUR efficiency for MY time, and if you keep choosing your convenience over mine, don’t be surprised when I stop opening your messages altogether.

Worship God not because you feel like it, but because He’s worthy—always. In every season, your worship invites His presence, releases His blessing, and brings your life under His rulership. Watch sermon on YouTube: youtu.be/MDTRQlyAl_Y #bishoptudorbismark #SystemsOfMinistry

Meet Kudzai Mafuwe, a Ph.D. student at the University of Delaware, using AI to revolutionize agricultural pest management! 🌾🦟 She spent 2 years training her AI model to detect pests in crops, easing the burden on crop-scouts. Inspired by her work at the Natural History Museum in #Zimbabwe, she saw the potential to digitize collections for farmers. As a Fulbright Scholar, Kudzai plans to share her knowledge and mentor Zimbabweans in agriculture and entomology. 🌍👩‍🔬 @UDelaware
