merkhet Posted September 14, 2014 Posted September 14, 2014 Anyone have resources on Capital Cities and/or Tom Murphy outside of "The Outsiders"?
coc Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 Here is a transcript of an interview Tom Murphy did, where he describes his career at Cap Cities. I wish there was a lot more out there, but I haven't found much. tommurphy.pdfFetching info...

coc Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 You're welcome guys. One thing I always thought was cool in that piece, and I never knew of, was his involvement in Doubleclick before it went to Google. Man, did this guy have a knack for good businesses...
merkhet Posted September 17, 2014 Author Posted September 17, 2014 Yes, thanks! That was a great interview.

AZ_Value Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUMQylUxbsg Wonderful business mind and humble person. Not recognized enough I think. Edit: Forgot to specify. I think the transcript shared above is of this interview I just posted. For those more inclined to listening to him vs reading the transcript. Cheers.

Tompety03 Posted October 9, 2016 Posted October 9, 2016 Thank you for the link to the HBS interview. I recently finished Limping on Water (Capital Cities book recommended in BRK 2015 letter). My notes are attached and below. Not on the top of my list, but has good insight into the Capital Cities culture. http://www.boardofbooks.com/limping-on-water/review-and-notes/ There is another book written by a former Capital Cities employee: https://www.amazon.com/Capital-Cities-Early-Years-1954-1986/dp/0801986184 The book also references a detailed HBS report written in 2000 that seems to have more specifics than the interview with Tom Murphy. Does anyone have that? Thanks, Chris boardofbooks.com-Review_and_Notes_-_Limping_On_Water.pdfFetching info...
