Earlier this week, Netflix announced it is partnering with Barack and Michelle Obama to develop original content for the video streaming giant.
Speaking at a Las Vegas tech conference hosted by cybersecurity company Okta, Obama waxed poetic about the "Stories" Americans have to tell and said he wants to use his multi-year contract with Netflix to help "Train the next generation of leaders."
Barack Obama said he relied on "Stories" to fuel his political career.
"Everyone has a story that is pretty sacred" about their life, Obama said.
Obama related meetings to hear the stories of Hamilton creator and Broadway producer Lin-Manuel Miranda and rocker Bruce Springsteen, and he noted that identifying talent in a similar fashion is his intent with Netflix.
Finally, after noting there is still a "Clash" in the country, Obama told the crowd what he hopes his new work will do.
"I'm putting my money on the latter way," Obama said.
"That's what we hope to be a voice to, through Netflix and through my foundation, where we're identifying and training the next generation of leaders here in the United States and around the world. So they can start sharing their stories and cooperating."
