Yeah, much better to have a workplace where loudmouths can rant about minorities or religions they don't like. Or better yet, not hire people from countries or races they don't like.

This is underrated and needs to be overstated! Too much scam recruiters nowadays getting away with it. Indeed and DICE have been polluted and now Linkedin.
For all the regular folk out there like me.. you don't have to be an inventive entrepreneur who creates a billion dollar company to get rich. If you get a good education and use that to get a good paying job. Then all you have to do is spend less than you make and invest the difference. If you start doing that in your 20s you will be ready to retire at 50 with millions.
Also what’re ur thoughts on having gaps on ur resume due to dealing with toxic people at ur job (didn’t do research on company before joining) There is only so much you can take even in a bad economy when it comes to toxic people. I’m the type that believes health supersedes everything including a nice cushy salary. But unfortunately this belief is a double edged swords. It protects and hurts. More benefits than costs. But how can I soften the blows? How does one justify a gap in a resume?
Very true. Yet still needs that regulated caption disclaimer, these are the proven truths and untruths about what you said and here are those references. Belief is a terrible thing when it's lies that get repeated enough to cause millions of onlookers to believe and act on it. Open mindedness means that it doesn't matter what I believe or dislike, I'm always seeking the most truth possible. Ai could help humanity in the way of not so much of claiming truth, rather tools for finding truth at exponential speed.
And you get to live with the consequences of what you say. If some one punches you in the mouth because you insult them and you lose a tooth then your speech cost you a tooth even if the person goes to jail. It's the potential for actual losses that help moderate speech between individuals. You can't say what ever without consequences. Now we have decided (rightly so) that the government and it's police powers cannot be used to regulate speech. I as an individual can regulate the speech of those around me by being formidable in my person, intellect, strength, influence and power I also watch what I say depending on the circumstances so my speech is also regulated by individuals

You are the best option to educate your children. I was born and raised in the US. I grew up in the school system.

If life only means making money, these talks are valuable. But our relationship with family members, friends and the true GOD is much more valuable which money can never buy. A heard that is content has inner peace and that peace comes with a strong connection to the true GOD.
Being born wealthy, marrying wealthy, generational wealth, slave money, gorilla marketing, sucking super rich dick, borrowed credibility usually through connections (sex is can be part of the equation) Idk if you noticed but sex is a big part of it if you want quick money. Slower methods involve waiting it out for years. Saving every penny and pray that no bad luck confronts you in the process of hoarding. By 60 - you’ll likely have a couple million. Anyway thats just what I think.
Not a big Trump fan but (mis)using a communication platform in order to get about the dumbest person in the universe elected SHOULD have consequences. I am on LI and the amount of pre-selected / twisted information in their news-feed is mind-boggling and the reason why I am trying to use it as little as possible.
Just a reminder Steve in case you forget. Your podcast is one of the best discoveries I’ve ever made and your work and that of your team is highly appreciated my many!

Desert plants or tropical? 11:49 be the startup of you. Passion isn't the only driver. 14:06 Find an entry point, learn it, (im)prove it. ??? Toby Lubka (?). 18:10 what are your competitive advantages? Game, strategy, persistence, now plus longterm, plan plus micro plans as you need to pivot, are you the one positioned to bring it through? - default dead? risk aware, - maintenance; resource magnet, - always learning, - your strategy pathway respects the stages of a business.
As a Trump follower, I support the freedom that his policies bring. I'm not in agreement with a strong lliberal views Reid Hoffman represent. I don't particularly like the verification in place that is being encouraged, seeking way too much information tied to your social security number (USA), and more. I don't believe in the control companies like LinkedIn feel they are entitled to. I hope a new platform surfaces to compete with LinkedIn. I disagree Reid Hoffman's views. These comments are mind and I'm choosing to exercise my freedom of speech.
A Master is never going to reveal his secrets. Let me give you a hint. There's no such thing as luck. You plan your 'luck'. But it's good that simpletons like you can be convinced that luck indeed exists because then you won't be competition, which realistically you could. Yes, realistically you could be his competitor, and he knows that very well, but of course you'll never allow yourself to believe that. Because you don't have the internal power to exercise faith, which is backed up by persistent relentless action towards ones goals.
@@SVN62534 honestly? get over yourself. you could have been born to laborers in rural Bangladesh and being clever & working your butt off could only get you so far in life due to the constraints of the impoverished, dysfunctional context in which you were raised. Widen your lens, you ignorant fool, and own up to your luck & privileges like he does. I am tired of CEOs born into contexts in which their hard work and cleverness leads to being rich/successful (lucky for them!) and then sucking themselves over it because they're sooo amazing. Gimme a break. At least this guy hasn't fallen prey.
Great comment about the importance of luck. The entrepreneurs on "How I Built This" also commonly refer to the importance of luck, in addition to hard work, etc.
This is a comment of astonishing ignorance. If you are targeted due to ur support of a candidate's opponent, obvi, you ve done NOTHING wrong. You are guilty of nothing but any person, at his level can be maligned and put in the SM grinder. The disgusting irony is that Trump is ALREADY proven to have the dirtiest hands.
Welldone! What a great interview, this guy knows what he is talking about and is trying to educate 90% of people who do not have a clue! These comments show that, they do not understand what it means to work harder than everyone else to succeed in their specific skill set. Well done for providing this incite to those in the know who value his experience and in-site to us expiring entrepreneurs. People who hate do not get it and those who appreciate have been on the periphery of success (in insane ways) (Elon is bizarre…) and this is very helpful. Thank you team! Accountability for your actions is credible which is what I think he is trying to say, but freedom of speech is 100% something that everybody deserves.. it doesn’t mean that there should be zero consequences to your actions, but that should be decided by the general public.. (or piers as is the law) and not by a cooperation / proxy government! 2020 position advocate = 100% PSYOP! - such a shame! I liked this dude until he revealed this.. his true agenda…
30:31 - "I think I am right about the way that the world can and should be, and I will take that contrarian risk, and Im gonna play it forward and if Im right I will create something that will transform the industry" SO GOOD SOOOO GOOD THANK YOU REID AND STEVEN!!!
I am 💯 sat!! - There are people who are scared to even think about doing great things. - There are people who just talk about doing great things and then ….There are the rare few, that are actually able to deliver! great things … 🙌🏾 Really looking forward to this. ✨
Only discovered this channel a few weeks ago - already improved my life 100%. It's like the circle of wealth being shared with the every day man. Bravo 👏👏👏
Ooh how I wish more ppl had started with this guy as we did, too much to learn, it's the implementation that most ppl find the motivation to be lacking
Thank you - yes luck plays a huge part always in success - right time, right place- now holding on to and building on that luck requires hard work and brains.
“AI anti-wokeness isn’t even in the top 100” - given most people will believe everything AI spews out I think making sure it’s as close as possible to the truth is extremely important.
I asked if feminist... could everbe misandrist and it is literally in denial that even exists when its on full display all day from his employees... i can prove that in under 9 minutes of simple research
Thank you for this episode. The guest is the most humble man I have ever heard. I think it is quite obvious that LUCK plays an important part in any success.
But information and data is constantly changing. I think corps that have brains locked in day in day out usually win. Which include credit card companies and social media imo.
A really useful podcast for me as a startup entrepreneur ❤ I really took many useful ideas which in some way are intuitive but sometimes i found myself doubting them😢. Now I feel empowered to go crazy when needed and run this baby to the moon🎉
Good evening Steven and Reid I very much want to transform our NHS. Lift it out of the brink. Rebrand it, even. Requiring a great big blether with the like. Loved this shared conversation. Truly grateful. 💜

Thanks for saving me some time. Stopped watching in opening montage because of the Trump/Harris comments. In previous years I would've heard him out, but anyone in the tech/ai space championing the democrats these days is either morally bankrupt or compromised.
Point of Fact: a verbal threat that creates a reasonable fear of imminent harm (which if your saying they should be banned, you must be causing reasonable fear of harm) in the victim can be considered assault, even if no physical contact is made.a threat + the apparent ability to carry it out can constitute assault
What a beautiful introductory question to Reid! Keep up the great work DOAC Team. Also Reid is just a bold realist in communicating truth in a goal with possibilities

always question and research everything nowadays with podcasts. as much as I enjoy some of the guests that are on this show they are not always held accountable or challenged. Don't want this to turn into yet another Joe Rogan podcast where people don't actually research before deciding to mess with their health.
Thanks for pushing back and sharing your views on how people were treated who opposed vaccines. Btw, either he’s trying to rewrite history on how credible experts were treated, or he completely forgot.
So what I'm hearing here is that this guy had money, invested into PayPal, made a bunch of money off someone else's dream, continued investing in other peoples dreams while making LinkedIn as a side project because he had time and money. Can we admit that VCs are a necessary evil but that doesn't make them visionaries. Shark tank is a prime example. They see what could be the next big thing and then make offers with couch change to them but take a majority share of the actual entrepreneurs dream so they don't own it after they succeed. I could be wrong... but it will be hard to convince me. We have a business environment that though competition and protectionary regulation it is really have to start by yourself and not be bought out and eaten by the big companies because they don't want competition.
Reid Hoffman wasn't just an investor in PayPal; he was one of its key executives and part of the 'PayPal Mafia. He played a major role in scaling the business and shaping its strategy, which contributed to its eventual sale to eBay. After PayPal, he transitioned into investing, using his expertise to back successful businesses like Airbnb and Facebook-nothing wrong with that if you know how to create value and make money. As for Linkedin, it wasn't some side project-it was a platform Hoffman co-founded based on a clear vision to revolutionize professional networking. He put significant effort into its development, which is why it became the global success it is today I am not defending him , of course if we focus on all other aspects on his life and with people he is friends then it’s a different topic
His point on freedom of speech is on point and in the arch of history of fairness, and the pursuit of life liberty, and happiness Freedom of speech is not freedom to lie, to abuse, to endanger With absolute freedom of speech comes absolute responsibility to your lies Your right to freedom has Kokinos when it encroaches another persons right to freedom
It isn't luck, whether you believe n God or not, He doesn't exist whether you believe or don't, He is the Great "I AM", existing completely on His own. You should be grateful to Him for all your "luck"
This is a masterclass in testing ideas, validating concepts, and the science of experimentation. A must-watch for anyone looking to turn ideas into reality!
I felt this interview fell short in few areas. Hoffman is a guy who leans heavenly to left so i don't trust him much. Especially with his ties to Epestine which i things needs further investigation. He was clearly uncomfortable when asked about Elon, and i found his compassion of having a child to launching a start up quite odd. i do really ask whether his use of wealth is ultimately net positive to society- something about him just feels off to me.
It's not wrong to insult people (excluding their associates) if they are willing to be insulted themselves. However, I dislike platforms that permit one-sided insults and allow them to be expressed openly, like Twitter did.
The "Right now! Long term" reference he mentions correlates perfectly with Gary Vaynerchuck's 'Clouds & Dirt' philosophy - You gotta move fast on your day-to-day but be patient long-term, play the long game
This is a man I would love to have lunch with, once a month, for the rest of my life. Not for any personal gain but to discuss ideas with. I have had a relationship like that before and my life is better for it. OH yes, I've just ordered AI For Dummies.
Interesting that the comments here are all rather circling around what I’m feeling as I’m watching. “I cannot relate to this guy at all.” (And I used to work in silicon valley at a certain college many with a multicolor fruit logo) He’s talking about VC money and strategies that I think have very little to do with most of us who don’t have to worry about antitrust laws. I’m rewatching Steven’s videos interview with Daniel Priestly. Amazing guy. Feels very down-to-earth, and real. He mentions one idea in particular that I’m going to use as I’m starting a new business.
Born and raised in Silicon Valley, I must have not had any luck,because I didn’t become a great success. Then again I was raised in the 70’s and 80’s. 65 years old now.
You don't have to watch all at once if u can't. Sometimes I watch most or half & the rest later. I appreciate the depth of the interviews & that they're no interrupted.
understand that "luck" can be a thing...especially ''Right Place, Right Time' (for yourself...and also for the 'idea'...) That's why multiple enterprise 'successes' ( as well as emotional/intellectual success) do have a mystery about them. Fate/Chance are weird things
Reid is so right that. What he might not know, Provisions are already destined by Allaah. Also Provisions are not limited to money. Requires knowledge of Islaam and faith to understand these true life fundamentals!
1:28:14 If only those "Experts" that do the research weren't funded by the industry or companies that are obviously biased. There needs to be multiple publicly trusted 3rd party reviewers that are comprised of people outside of any perceived biases...
Reid Hoffman initial insistence that civility, rather than scientific truth, is the central principle of a platform like LinkedIn confuses the norms of polite discourse with standards of factual integrity, as if refraining from threats or insults could somehow compensate for claims that are historically or empirically incorrect. This is like assuming that politely whispering “the Earth is flat” makes it more credible.
This is the second interview where the topic of friendships came up. Steven, consider connecting him with Simon Sinek, as he discussed a similar theme in his interview. I think it could make for a great collaboration. Keep up the excellent work!
Techno nerds have no idea how many lives have been more stressful due to their competitive gaming attitudes of lives. Good be scared, you have put many in that precise predicament. One good thing about linkedin is reading the b.s. of the egos.

If life only means making money, these talks are valuable. But our relationship with family members, friends and the true GOD is much more valuable which money can never buy. A heard that is content has inner peace and that peace comes with a strong connection to the true GOD.
I Agree 💯
I don’t agree with everything you said but money shouldn’t be the focus for sure
Amen!!💯🎯
He's a '$10M in starting capital'-kind of entrepreneur. To regular people I think the the '$0 to $100.000'-journey is the interesting part.
Being born wealthy, marrying wealthy, generational wealth, slave money, gorilla marketing, sucking super rich dick, borrowed credibility usually through connections (sex is can be part of the equation)
Idk if you noticed but sex is a big part of it if you want quick money.
Slower methods involve waiting it out for years. Saving every penny and pray that no bad luck confronts you in the process of hoarding. By 60 - you’ll likely have a couple million.
Anyway thats just what I think.
What was the thing that should be the trigger for me to quit my job?
When you’re so bored at work you end up watching this interview to distract you. That’s when you need a new job.
@@markjonzunderrated comment 😂😂😂
Use your time at work to look for business ideas for yourself. Quiet quit to find the time.
My friend set up a business this way.
Surprised Reid came on, he’s more of an island kind of guy.
I’m not familiar with him and haven’t watched yet. Why do you say island kinda guy?
Are we talking E island kinda guy?
@@TeRiFic05 Epstein Island. Common knowledge. Also bankrolled the E Jean Caroll bogus case against Trump.
😂😂
Red shoe boy
Thanks! I am not able to work right now and I keep your UA-cam episodes going. I am grateful for your knowledge and company during this time. 😊
Why are you wasting $4.99 if you not working for a comment on a podcast that makes over £20 million a year 🤦♂️
@@one_eleven Exactly, huh! Her priorities are misplaced.
Go spend it on MacDonald.
Steven, I would love for you to have Tristan Harris as a guest on your future episode.
Yessss!!! We need an episode with him for sure!
Not a big Trump fan but (mis)using a communication platform in order to get about the dumbest person in the universe elected SHOULD have consequences. I am on LI and the amount of pre-selected / twisted information in their news-feed is mind-boggling and the reason why I am trying to use it as little as possible.
So true!!
Just a reminder Steve in case you forget. Your podcast is one of the best discoveries I’ve ever made and your work and that of your team is highly appreciated my many!
And the BBC can suck it.
3:23 exposure fuels imagination. learning that individual is valuable when you learn how to co-exist in a group action. Is that what he learned. the network. 9:57 great anywhere? Nope. Desert plants or tropical?
11:49 be the startup of you. Passion isn't the only driver.
14:06 Find an entry point, learn it, (im)prove it.
??? Toby Lubka (?).
18:10 what are your competitive advantages? Game, strategy, persistence, now plus longterm, plan plus micro plans as you need to pivot, are you the one positioned to bring it through?
- default dead? risk aware, - maintenance; resource magnet, - always learning, - your strategy pathway respects the stages of a business.
As a Trump follower, I support the freedom that his policies bring. I'm not in agreement with a strong lliberal views Reid Hoffman represent. I don't particularly like the verification in place that is being encouraged, seeking way too much information tied to your social security number (USA), and more. I don't believe in the control companies like LinkedIn feel they are entitled to. I hope a new platform surfaces to compete with LinkedIn. I disagree Reid Hoffman's views. These comments are mind and I'm choosing to exercise my freedom of speech.
...Epstein List.
I appreciate his humility and his recognition that luck played a big part in his success
A Master is never going to reveal his secrets. Let me give you a hint. There's no such thing as luck. You plan your 'luck'. But it's good that simpletons like you can be convinced that luck indeed exists because then you won't be competition, which realistically you could. Yes, realistically you could be his competitor, and he knows that very well, but of course you'll never allow yourself to believe that. Because you don't have the internal power to exercise faith, which is backed up by persistent relentless action towards ones goals.
@@SVN62534 honestly? get over yourself. you could have been born to laborers in rural Bangladesh and being clever & working your butt off could only get you so far in life due to the constraints of the impoverished, dysfunctional context in which you were raised. Widen your lens, you ignorant fool, and own up to your luck & privileges like he does. I am tired of CEOs born into contexts in which their hard work and cleverness leads to being rich/successful (lucky for them!) and then sucking themselves over it because they're sooo amazing. Gimme a break. At least this guy hasn't fallen prey.
@@SVN62534agree 1000% believing in luck is your first mistake.
Great comment about the importance of luck. The entrepreneurs on "How I Built This" also commonly refer to the importance of luck, in addition to hard work, etc.
Good to be lucky, lucky to be good.
He has nothing to fear unless he is guilty of something.
I'm sure he is, that is why he fears.
Why did Elon fear prison if Trump lost?
@ source?
You know who coined the phrase, " if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear?".. Joseph Goebels
This is a comment of astonishing ignorance. If you are targeted due to ur support of a candidate's opponent, obvi, you ve done NOTHING wrong. You are guilty of nothing but any person, at his level can be maligned and put in the SM grinder. The disgusting irony is that Trump is ALREADY proven to have the dirtiest hands.
Welldone! What a great interview, this guy knows what he is talking about and is trying to educate 90% of people who do not have a clue! These comments show that, they do not understand what it means to work harder than everyone else to succeed in their specific skill set. Well done for providing this incite to those in the know who value his experience and in-site to us expiring entrepreneurs. People who hate do not get it and those who appreciate have been on the periphery of success (in insane ways) (Elon is bizarre…) and this is very helpful. Thank you team!
Accountability for your actions is credible which is what I think he is trying to say, but freedom of speech is 100% something that everybody deserves.. it doesn’t mean that there should be zero consequences to your actions, but that should be decided by the general public.. (or piers as is the law) and not by a cooperation / proxy government!
2020 position advocate = 100% PSYOP! - such a shame! I liked this dude until he revealed this.. his true agenda…
Sadly, LinkedIn has gotten too political for my taste. It's a business platform that's swung dangerously to the left of center.
Nonsense.
@@tomsmith2013 your nonsense is nonsense.
Because being respectful, kind, considered and open to comment is just normal, not 'radical left' or woke....
Empathy is dangerous now
WTF? "...dangerously to the left.." what in the hell can that even mean? What a weirdo, MAGA cult member, you must be.
I’m going to see how much of this I can listen to…
My previous listens to this guy can be described as ewwww
I hope that Steven will see the truth one day
Did you ask him about Epstein Island?
Ask trump
Did you ask trump and Elon about it?
30:31 - "I think I am right about the way that the world can and should be, and I will take that contrarian risk, and Im gonna play it forward and if Im right I will create something that will transform the industry" SO GOOD SOOOO GOOD THANK YOU REID AND STEVEN!!!
I am 💯 sat!!
- There are people who are scared to even think about doing great things.
- There are people who just talk about doing great things and then
….There are the rare few, that are actually able to deliver! great things … 🙌🏾
Really looking forward to this. ✨
Well said!
Only discovered this channel a few weeks ago - already improved my life 100%. It's like the circle of wealth being shared with the every day man. Bravo 👏👏👏
Ooh how I wish more ppl had started with this guy as we did, too much to learn, it's the implementation that most ppl find the motivation to be lacking
Thank you - yes luck plays a huge part always in success - right time, right place- now holding on to and building on that luck requires hard work and brains.
Hermit with a subpar company that he was overpaid for.
So basically "EXPERTS" should decide everything. As if "EXPERTS" don't have thier own biases
“AI anti-wokeness isn’t even in the top 100” - given most people will believe everything AI spews out I think making sure it’s as close as possible to the truth is extremely important.
He does not do that or understand that, because he is sheltered.. clearly he is out of touch.
I asked if feminist... could everbe misandrist and it is literally in denial that even exists when its on full display all day from his employees... i can prove that in under 9 minutes of simple research
Why no one cares about the truth already anyways. If they knew the truth their actions wouldn’t change. We live in a nation full of cowards.
Thank you for this episode. The guest is the most humble man I have ever heard. I think it is quite obvious that LUCK plays an important part in any success.
It's about data and who has all the information.
And that's why I think 46B was paid for Twitter. Not the business, the data.
@kasmstamps1897 probably correct wouldn't doubt it
But information and data is constantly changing.
I think corps that have brains locked in day in day out usually win. Which include credit card companies and social media imo.
@@kasmstamps1897🎯🎯🎯
Definitely the data
A capitalist in the best sense! Thank you for showing that thoughtful, ethical, conscious, people centric billionaires do exist.
A really useful podcast for me as a startup entrepreneur ❤ I really took many useful ideas which in some way are intuitive but sometimes i found myself doubting them😢. Now I feel empowered to go crazy when needed and run this baby to the moon🎉
Good evening Steven and Reid
I very much want to transform our NHS. Lift it out of the brink. Rebrand it, even.
Requiring a great big blether with the like.
Loved this shared conversation.
Truly grateful.

@1:23:12 Some have suggested the definition of a vaccine was changed for mRNA vaccines, is that true?
yes you might check the 2 versions before and after 2019/2020 (depending on your country, source of information ex WHO ou national authority... but anyway you will see the difference : the first couldnt include MRNA techno wich rather fall under genet herapy, the later is enlarged to include the MRNA plateform
Yes, it was done to capitalize on the generally widely accepted concept of vaccines to introduce an extremely dangerous gene therapy.
I would highly suggest you research into this Sir to get the answers, there is so much out there.
Thanks for saving me some time. Stopped watching in opening montage because of the Trump/Harris comments. In previous years I would've heard him out, but anyone in the tech/ai space championing the democrats these days is either morally bankrupt or compromised.
The point is that there is no law of physics that prevents time traveling from happening. So it means that it’s possible
Entropy?
Point of Fact: a verbal threat that creates a reasonable fear of imminent harm (which if your saying they should be banned, you must be causing reasonable fear of harm) in the victim can be considered assault, even if no physical contact is made.a threat + the apparent ability to carry it out can constitute assault
What a beautiful introductory question to Reid! Keep up the great work DOAC Team. Also Reid is just a bold realist in communicating truth in a goal with possibilities
Wow! Posted an hour ago and you have more views that my channel gets a year. You are the GOAT 🐐 💪🏻🌞🥰
I guess he diddnt notice the witch hunt. what is acceptable for one person in a particular situation should be acceptable for another person in a similar situation.take them all to court and check their hard drives. Starting with this fruit cake
you see...its OK IF DONE FOR THE CAUSE, I guess?
he never spoke of prior IRI abuse.
he never spoke of prior FBI abuses.
2:43:10
1. My patience is infinite because you've retained my trust
2. If I appear too calm, that is because I've lost track of what is going on.
These are related, and I'll reference back to this comment someday
I recall Elon saying Reid is in trouble and intel would be coming out once Trump were elected. What happened to that???
AMAZING EPISODE! Thank you for this incredibly well flowing and intelligent conversation 👌
Eff the BBC and their hit piece on Steven. I'm doubling down on being a fan after that
always question and research everything nowadays with podcasts. as much as I enjoy some of the guests that are on this show they are not always held accountable or challenged. Don't want this to turn into yet another Joe Rogan podcast where people don't actually research before deciding to mess with their health.
exactly. you ar 100% right. I said the same
So many wolves in sheep's clothing....l call them ear junk and they aren't getting into my kitchen.....
Let me guess, you work for the BBC?
@@fs5775the podcast works for the BBC....
@@fs5775 lol no. Just someone who enjoys this podcast that doesn't take everything at face value just because someone says so.
My favourite podcast, please never stop doing what you do!
Thanks for pushing back and sharing your views on how people were treated who opposed vaccines. Btw, either he’s trying to rewrite history on how credible experts were treated, or he completely forgot.
So what I'm hearing here is that this guy had money, invested into PayPal, made a bunch of money off someone else's dream, continued investing in other peoples dreams while making LinkedIn as a side project because he had time and money.
Can we admit that VCs are a necessary evil but that doesn't make them visionaries. Shark tank is a prime example. They see what could be the next big thing and then make offers with couch change to them but take a majority share of the actual entrepreneurs dream so they don't own it after they succeed.
I could be wrong... but it will be hard to convince me. We have a business environment that though competition and protectionary regulation it is really have to start by yourself and not be bought out and eaten by the big companies because they don't want competition.
Reid Hoffman wasn't just an investor in PayPal; he was one of its key executives and part of the 'PayPal Mafia. He played a major role in scaling the business and shaping its strategy, which contributed to its eventual sale to eBay. After PayPal, he transitioned into investing, using his expertise to back successful businesses like Airbnb and Facebook-nothing wrong with that if you know how to create value and make money.
As for Linkedin, it wasn't some side project-it was a platform Hoffman co-founded based on a clear vision to revolutionize professional networking.
He put significant effort into its development, which is why it became the global success it is today
I am not defending him , of course if we focus on all other aspects on his life and with people he is friends then it’s a different topic
Just checked out the store. $72 AUD for a diary......
I didnt realise you were drunk at work
12am taking notes for my next big step this 2025. Ah, thanks to you two!
His point on freedom of speech is on point and in the arch of history of fairness, and the pursuit of life liberty, and happiness
Freedom of speech is not freedom to lie, to abuse, to endanger
With absolute freedom of speech comes absolute responsibility to your lies
Your right to freedom has Kokinos when it encroaches another persons right to freedom
The episode is a must watch for every startup founder and every entrepreneur😊
i DON'T CARE WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT STEVE HE IS THE MAN!!!
It isn't luck, whether you believe n God or not, He doesn't exist whether you believe or don't, He is the Great "I AM", existing completely on His own. You should be grateful to Him for all your "luck"
This
is a masterclass in testing ideas, validating concepts, and the science of experimentation. A must-watch for anyone looking to turn ideas into reality!
I felt this interview fell short in few areas. Hoffman is a guy who leans heavenly to left so i don't trust him much. Especially with his ties to Epestine which i things needs further investigation. He was clearly uncomfortable when asked about Elon, and i found his compassion of having a child to launching a start up quite odd. i do really ask whether his use of wealth is ultimately net positive to society- something about him just feels off to me.
Please interview the man who investigated on the topic of the troll patent scam-those shell companies & TX attorneys hurting small business owners!
It's not wrong to insult people (excluding their associates) if they are willing to be insulted themselves. However, I dislike platforms that permit one-sided insults and allow them to be expressed openly, like Twitter did.
LinkedIn
.... hated by workers everywhere
... adored by CEO narcissistic psychos
Omg this....totally my experience.
It’s crap. Just people selling to you or stealing your ideas and contacts.
I don’t interview for jobs. I interview the person hiring me for a project.
I can’t believe how nasty these business people are.
Yes, absolutely correct! It’s a toxic platform
What the actual duck are any of you talking about? LinkedIn has been great for business focused networking 🙌
The "Right now! Long term" reference he mentions correlates perfectly with Gary Vaynerchuck's 'Clouds & Dirt' philosophy - You gotta move fast on your day-to-day but be patient long-term, play the long game
This is a man I would love to have lunch with, once a month, for the rest of my life. Not for any personal gain but to discuss ideas with. I have had a relationship like that before and my life is better for it. OH yes, I've just ordered AI For Dummies.
This was an excellent truthful dialogue. A lot is luck and access.
Interesting that the comments here are all rather circling around what I’m feeling as I’m watching.
“I cannot relate to this guy at all.”
(And I used to work in silicon valley at a certain college many with a multicolor fruit logo)
He’s talking about VC money and strategies that I think have very little to do with most of us who don’t have to worry about antitrust laws.
I’m rewatching Steven’s videos interview with Daniel Priestly. Amazing guy. Feels very down-to-earth, and real. He mentions one idea in particular that I’m going to use as I’m starting a new business.
LinkedIn founder & Island connoisseur
Spotify is the only major tech company outside of the US.
Shopify
Thank you. Wonderful interview
Born and raised in Silicon Valley, I must have not had any luck,because I didn’t become a great success. Then again I was raised in the 70’s and 80’s. 65 years old now.
Age is no restraint on becoming successful. Colonel Sanders was in his 60's when he started KFC and 70's when he sold it.
All that money and it looks unhealthy
I love your podcast but the interviews are getting way too long. Nearly 3 hours! Two hours max.
You don't have to watch all at once if u can't. Sometimes I watch most or half & the rest later. I appreciate the depth of the interviews & that they're no interrupted.
You know the Pause button is free to use right
But let me guess, you love watching 3 hours of useless Joe Rogan podcasts.
understand that "luck" can be a thing...especially ''Right Place, Right Time' (for yourself...and also for the 'idea'...) That's why multiple enterprise 'successes' ( as well as emotional/intellectual success) do have a mystery about them. Fate/Chance are weird things
Reid is so right that. What he might not know, Provisions are already destined by Allaah. Also Provisions are not limited to money. Requires knowledge of Islaam and faith to understand these true life fundamentals!
1:28:14 If only those "Experts" that do the research weren't funded by the industry or companies that are obviously biased. There needs to be multiple publicly trusted 3rd party reviewers that are comprised of people outside of any perceived biases...
Does truth have perceived bias
Steven, it would be so interesting to have a podcast with a criminal psychologist! :)
So this is why all these companies like Amazon are kissing up now smh.
You have a knack for finding some of the worst people society has to offer
Reid Hoffman initial insistence that civility, rather than scientific truth, is the central principle of a platform like LinkedIn confuses the norms of polite discourse with standards of factual integrity, as if refraining from threats or insults could somehow compensate for claims that are historically or empirically incorrect. This is like assuming that politely whispering “the Earth is flat” makes it more credible.
Brilliant, thanks all, I'll be back to finish 👍, that's great 👍👍
This is the second interview where the topic of friendships came up. Steven, consider connecting him with Simon Sinek, as he discussed a similar theme in his interview. I think it could make for a great collaboration. Keep up the excellent work!
That fiver ad was defo AI 😂
Joined linkedIn in the early 2000s. Great tool!
Him: So you were part of the papal mafia...
Me: Italians 😤
I found this episode somewhat valuable but I can't lie, the experience felt like driving amusement park bumper cars.
Exactly WHO says that "you don't choose where you're born"?
Techno nerds have no idea how many lives have been more stressful due to their competitive gaming attitudes of lives. Good be scared, you have put many in that precise predicament. One good thing about linkedin is reading the b.s. of the egos.
It is 100% correct when it comes to startups
I would appreciate it if someone gives a timestamp for the answer on quitting the job
