Sam Parr shares a story about Ted Turner facing ridicule when he launched CNN.
"When Ted Turner created CNN, he survived the ridicule. Ted was made fun of a whole bunch when he launched CNN. It was not easy for him. People mocked him and called it the 'chicken noodle network' - CNN. They made fun of him all the time."
