Startup Fundamentals from an Attorney Turned Operator -- Lee Essner (President & COO, Jukin Media)
Lee Essner is the President and COO of Jukin Media, a global entertainment company powered by user-generated video content. Jukin receives more than one billion monthly views across digital platforms and is the leader in discovering, acquiring, and curating the web's most compelling UGC videos for brands and media companies to license for commercial use.
In this episode, Lee recounts his transition from a corporate attorney to an early-stage startup employee and later, founder of his own company. He offers advice for those in transactional roles who want to become operators, encourages entrepreneurs to be realistic (“hope should not be part of the strategy”), and reminds us that it’s just as important what you say “No” to than what you say “Yes” to. Finally, he predicts continued global growth in the online video industry and the transformative impact of VR and live streaming.
