I Created a Podcast Series on Ted Turner

I published a six-part podcast series on Ted Turner, the visionary entrepreneur who created CNN and other cable channels like Cartoon Network and TNT under Turner Broadcasting System. He also owned the NBA’s Atlanta Hawks and MLB’s Atlanta Braves, and had a fortune of $10 billion at its peak. I really enjoyed his autobiography and learned a lot from it. If you're interested in learning more about Ted and his remarkable journey, you can start listening to part one in this series on Apple Podcasts here or Spotify here. Ted's journey is covered in episodes 98 through 103.
