SANTA CRUZ, Calif., May 6, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The That Will Never Work podcast, created and hosted by Netflix Co-Founder and First CEO Marc Randolph, has surpassed 100,000 downloads after the release of just eight episodes.

Since then, the show has consistently ranked amongst the top entrepreneur and business podcasts globally.

That Will Never Work is a bi-weekly podcast inspired by Randolph's internationally bestselling book by the same name. In each episode, Randolph – who has over 40 years of experience as an entrepreneur – helps burgeoning small business owners turn their nascent businesses into sustainable companies through engaging and insightful conversations and real-time mentorship. Randolph uses his unique combination of analytical skills and tough love (with a dose of humor) to unearth the blind spots that might be holding guests back.

"I am both humbled and honored that so many people have enjoyed listening to this podcast, and have found real value in the advice and experience I've been able to share," said Randolph. "For me, each episode was a new adventure, with conversations taking me to places I'd never imagined. From discussions around selling erotic art online to chats about scaling a Ping Pong on-demand business, I've had the opportunity to meet with some of the most interesting early-stage startup founders in the world. I have truly loved cultivating this unique roster of guests, and I am eager to continue to bring forth more illuminating, entertaining conversations with interesting and passionate people, in hopes that I can inspire more people to follow their dreams."
