When I sat down with Larry Namer, co-founder of E! Entertainment Television, I didn’t expect to walk away with a masterclass in reinvention, resilience, and real leadership.
Larry grew up in Coney Island, fixing cables and dreaming big—but he didn’t just climb the ladder. He rebuilt the whole thing.
This is the story of how a kid from Brooklyn helped launch one of the most iconic media brands in the world. How he pushed through rejection, broke rules (and rewrote a few), and used curiosity, creativity, and collaboration to turn a wild idea into a global phenomenon.
We talk about:
- Reinventing your career (more than once)
- Staying sharp through curiosity + collaboration
- Why negotiation is the #1 leadership skill
- And how balance keeps your brilliance alive
Larry’s story is a reminder: You don’t need to play by the rules to change the game.
If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to shape culture, lead with heart, or start over without losing yourself—this one’s for you.
