There was a line in The Farnsworth Invention yesterday that I have yet to figure out.
Some background… The line was uttered in a description of David Sarnoff, who was the president of RCA/NBC. At first, Sarnoff wanted the airwaves to be free of advertising and profit primarily from the sale of radios. After the company suffered because of the Great Depression, Sarnoff was forced to put ads on the airwaves and his company grew tremendously as a result.
Anyway, the line is this: “Once you’re good at connecting consumers with advertisers, it’s hard to be good at anything else.”
Anybody out there have a take on what it could mean? Maybe that it’s easy to get comfortable with money?
