2) I have a love/hate relationship with the sense that all of the walls have come down in the industry. The walls between industry verticals, the walls between markets where talent can be accessed, the walls between who does creative, production and post. This new flat world environment creates great new challenges as well as great new opportunities. The challenge and opportunity is how to create new enterprises that maximize all of the new possibilities in this environment and keep it creatively charged.
5) The economy is ALWAYS a specter that must be watched yet something over which we have no control. Downturns are inevitable and simply must be anticipated and navigated as much as possible. At the same time, it is also imperative to try to stay ahead of the increasingly rapid changes in technology and platforms for our product. Who creates, how we create and the ultimate destination of our endeavors are questions that need to be addressed if one is to thrive going forward. The cultural migration from television to the myriad of other ways to touch the consumer will continue to challenge us all.
