Ted Turner was a hero to me and a generation of founders. I first met him when I was a young entrepreneur in my 20s, and his boldness in reimagining media and sports inspired my own journey.
A relentless trailblazer, he combined extraordinary vision with the courage to act, leaving a lasting mark on business, culture, and public life.
His legacy endures not only in what he built, but in the energy, conviction, and generosity he brought to the causes and communities he cared about most.
