The Boston native was in the Marines and Peace Corps at some point, but he found success in tech. Although he had a number of tech jobs and ventures in the past, his stroke of luck came when he launched Netflix, then a movie rental site. While successful in the late ‘90s, it only became an empire with the advent of internet television.
