Reid Hoffman

So fundamentally, part of why in the Startup for You I said life is a team sport, because the Startup for You is actually advice I give to entrepreneurs refactored to individuals being the entrepreneur of their own life.

So it actually applies to founders, applies to CEOs, applies to executives, applies to people working.

But it's this question about life being a team sport.

It's, you know, you are amplified by your team.

It's more fun.

You learn more and they help you in both upside and navigating downside.

So the most fundamental thing, life is a team sport.

Amongst our team.

Well, LinkedIn.

You know, I post just about everything there.

I also have ReidHoffman.org.

And, you know, this year, publishing Super Agency.

A great pleasure.

I look forward to our next conversation.

Yes. So no... entrepreneur wins at every game. Generally speaking, as an entrepreneur, you should try to play the games that you have a massive competitive edge on. Same thing is true.

His contrarian idea was going to the cloud and that people were going to do cloud software for the first time. I think it was 500 people that Workday hired. He would always do a cultural interview at the end to make sure that the first 500 people all kind of shared cultural things. So once you get through all the competence and all the rest of the stuff, he would make sure that was a fit.

And that's part of how you get cultural coherence. That's like one example, right? Another example, Elon is the – Like, I have a big idea and I convince myself 100% that it's absolutely going to be the case. Like, I am going to settle Mars. We're going to terraform Mars in our lifetimes, which is... No, it's impossible.
