« Why Your Career is Not Your Life - Idan Cohen »
In Chapter 1 of 19 in his 2012 Capture Your Flag interview, Boxee co-founder and head of product Idan Cohen answers "Where Do You Seek Inspiration Outside Your Career?" Cohen challenges Erik's question, as he does not feel what he is does is a part of a "career". Instead, he finds his family, past, present and future, and his work define his life. This is not something linear, however, as he keeps himself open to new possibilities that plot on a timeline but not necessarily a specific career ladder. It is less about progressing on a career and more about a life journey. This is Idan Cohen's Year 1 CYF interview. Cohen is co-founder and head of product at Boxee Inc, an online video software company. Previous to Boxee, Cohen held telecom software innovation and developer roles at Comverse. He was a Captain in the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) and graduated from Tel Aviv University with a Bachelors of Science degree in Geophysics and Art.
