Ed Norton's CEO Communication Company
Share
Sam Parr shares a story about discovering Ed Norton's unexpected business venture.
"I saw this company Zeck.app - it says 'Zeck's reimagine how CEOs collaborate with their board.' Ed Norton, the actor, is the founder of this company. I saw him give this interview and he explained that when he works with all these companies he invests in, they're horrible at telling him back the story, horrible at giving presentations.
He wanted to create software that would help them be better at telling the story, explaining how the company's going, making meetings more productive, and teaching them how to do presentations. I saw him doing presentations on CNBC talking about it. His father was a business person and he was raised around business. I don't know if it's software yet - I think it's still a service, but Ed Norton is running this company."
