We Networked Ideas: Eric Pachman Returns To JUST PRESS RECORD

Matt Zeigler

This is kind of what Just Press Record is really about. Like, in its entirety. Random networking with surprising results.

I brought Eric Pachman back on for a special “Oh snap, guess what I saw episode.” I had this clip that - it was about serendipity. And that made me think of him because his entire life is full of crazy twists and turns, from how he ended up in Ohio, to the company he started taking on prescription drug pricing after losing his mom to cancer.

He’s just a man of making meaning out actions, even when those actions aren’t in his control.

Eric Markowitz and Elie Jacobs, in their Just Press Record, went deep on serendipity, accidents, and how random circumstances have shaped their entire lives, to a degree where they deliberately look to add elements of serendipity in.

Along comes Eric, who is on record as not believe in serendipity.
