From Letterman to Family Guy with Mark Hentemann

Mark Hentemann has worked as a writer on some of the biggest shows on TV including The Late Show with David Letterman, Family Guy, 3 South, Run of the House, and Bordertown. But things don't always go 'right' when you are working in show business.

Mark shares his story of going from creating Greeting Cards to writing on The Last Show with David Letterman only to be laid off because of the 'Late Show Wars.' Not knowing what to do next, he took the leap to push into his dreams and move to LA. After meeting Seth MacFarlane, Mark ended up becoming a writer on Family Guy. It would seem like smooth sailing was on the horizon...but things didn't always go to plan. That's when Mark found the investing bug and launched Quantum Capital all while being the Show Runner for Family Guy!

In today's episode we dive deep into the world of creativity, writing, creating culture, and investing.
