Gas up the Learjets and break out the Moncler vests, it’s time for corporate chieftains to let their hair down, as only the one percent of the one percent knows how.
Meta chief Mark Zuckerberg, Warner Bros. Discovery honcho David Zaslav, Paramount Global chair Shari Redstone, Google CEO Sundar Pichai, Apple head Tim Cook, and Microsoft founder Bill Gates are heading to Idaho in July to attend the annual “summer camp for moguls,” known more formally as Sun Valley. And Bob Iger, back on the throne at the Walt Disney Company, will also be touching down in the resort town after a brief, unhappy (for shareholders) interregnum. They’ll be mixing and mingling with other media barons, Silicon Valley heavyweights and political players at the media finance retreat hosted by Allen & Co.

Ryan Roslansky has been CEO of LinkedIn since June 2020, but he went through a long journey before he reached that position. According to his own professional profile, Roslansky’s career had stops at Yahoo and GoDaddy, and he put in more than a decade of work at LinkedIn before he became the platform’s chief executive.

Few people are as closely linked with YouTube as Ben Relles. The Wisconsin native has been making content on the world's top online video platform since 2007. He joined the company as an exec in 2011 and spent 11 years developing new original programs for it.
Now, that decade-plus tenure has come to an end. In a LinkedIn post, Relles announced that he is "headed to a new opportunity." He has teamed up with Reid Hoffman and will work closely with the LinkedIn co-founder "on content strategy across a portfolio of his investments in AI, Web3, video and other seed-stage and growth companies."
Relles developed a close relationship with Hoffman in 2020 when the two innovators united for the Good to Vote campaign, which was initiated by Relles and funded by Hoffman. As a result of that push, 150,000 people registered to vote.

Welcome to The B-Side, from The Film Stage. Here we talk about movie stars and not the movies that made them famous or kept them famous, but the ones they made in between.
Today we tackle legend Jack Nicholson, a movie star who has got enough B-Sides to warrant a handful of episodes. We bring back one of our favorite guests to do the job: Katherine Clark Gray, playwright & screenwriter for Uncompromised Creative as well as podcast writer for “Masters of Scale with Reid Hoffman”.
The films we cover today include: The Two Jakes, Man Trouble, The Evening Star, The Pledge and How Do You Know. We discuss Jack Nicholson and Robert Towne’s failed hopes for a third Chinatown movie, the insane amount of money Jack was paid for How Do You Know and why his performance in The Pledge is one of the best he’s ever given.

James Murdoch didn’t mention Disney or the streaming wars or TV ratings or any of the myriad topics that marked his run as CEO of 21st Century Fox.
Instead, his 30-minute discussion with LinkedIn co-founder and tech investor Reid Hoffman focused mainly on the mushrooming institution of social media and the complex challenges it presents. They also touched on topics like regulation, innovation in the financial sector and surveillance methods in various countries. In all, it was fresher ground for Murdoch, who has been reaching well beyond traditional media as the founder and CEO of venture firm Lupa Systems. The pair closed the opening day of the Paley Center’s International Council Summit in a session titled “Technology, Media and Society.”

Tim Cook, Lachlan Murdoch, Shari Redstone, Brian Roberts, Mark Zuckerberg and Bob Iger are among the media and technology moguls who will be touching down in Sun Valley, Idaho, in July for Allen & Co.’s annual media conference.
The invite-only confab is a chance for the one-percent of the one-percent to break out their windbreakers and jeans, and give the power suits a rest while biking and hiking in alpine splendor. It’s also historically been the locus of deal-making. Comcast’s purchase of NBC/Universal, the Washington Post’s sale to Jeff Bezos and Disney’s pact for Capital Cities/ABC were all hatched at Sun Valley. The conference was also the birthplace of some less successful mergers, namely AOL’s disastrous marriage to Time Warner.
In recent years, as technology and streaming have upended the traditional entertainment business, the biggest stars at Sun Valley have hailed from Silicon Valley.

A week ago, every 2020 candidate filed their first-quarter financial reports with the Federal Election Commission. The reports track every dollar a candidate raised and spent, offering the first inside glimpse of the election and how the candidates are stacking up. President Trump, who held his first 2020 campaign rally less than a month after he was inaugurated, has the largest war chest of anyone in the field. But the candidate with the highest percentage of small-dollar donors — a key indicator of broad-based public support — is Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, followed closely...
