Today we’re pleased to share with the you the sixth video in our Big Omaha 2011 Video Series, brought to you by CoSentry.
In the video above, Ben Huh, founder and CEO of Cheezburger Network, shares his story from his humble beginnings with I Can Has Cheezburger in September 2007 to today, overseeing a network that generates more than 20 million page views per month.

Ben said a successful startup CEO is someone who doesn’t understand the word “no,” but knows how to survive his or her own failures, then moves forward with a greater knowledge of what went wrong.
Ben attributes the success of Cheezburger Network to the users and fans who create the content and those who started the sites. In the end, his goal is to make the world happy for five minutes a day. We believe he’s well on the way to doing just that!
