Carlos Watson, co-founder of the daily news site Ozy, explains how his vision for reimagining news coverage began by asking himself what he disliked and what would delight the audience. The entrepreneur also talks about observing how innovators in other business sectors - ranging from transportation to technology - managed to enter and dominate already-crowded markets.

Entrepreneur and Emmy-winning journalist Carlos Watson talks about best practices he has observed in the startup world, noting that ventures that embrace proven processes over chaos tend to do better. He recalls the words of the late Silicon Valley leader Bill Campbell, who advised CEOs ranging from Steve Jobs to Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, and described how today’s visionaries are also masters at implementation.

Carlos Watson, co-founder of the daily digital news magazine Ozy, sums up the appeal of entrepreneurship for those who find fulfillment through creation: “There is nothing like going from a blank sheet of paper to a big win.” Prior to Ozy, Watson built a college-prep company that was sold to Washington Post/Kaplan, and then went on to work in media, anchoring shows on CNN, MSNBC and PBS.

Ozy Media CEO Carlos Watson discusses the realities of entrepreneurship versus the sometimes-glorified depiction of startup life in popular culture. He stresses the importance of hiring heads of finance and human resources to oversee business fundamentals, and emphasizes that working at a startup requires commitment and hard work - in the face of likely failure.

Ozy Media Co-Founder and CEO Carlos Watson explains that he built his company in the Silicon Valley town of Mountain View - home to Google, LinkedIn and other leading tech firms - to be among the biggest innovators and disruptors of this generation. He says he would rather be in this entrepreneurial ecosystem than be among all the traditional news organizations on the East Coast.
