Über diese Folge

<p>The advice to "think like an entrepreneur" can, from a certain angle, come off as the kind of rote, tech-bro guidance you'd get from a millennial lifehacker. But Reid Hoffman makes a good case that all of us, whether entrepreneurs or not, can benefit from having what he calls an "entrepreneurial mindset." He says this mindset is a trainable skill, and he believes that capitalism and compassion (two words you don't often hear together) are compatible. </p> <p> </p> <p>Reid Hoffman is the co-founder of LinkedIn, a partner at Greylock, the venture capital company, and the host of <a href= "https://mastersofscale.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener noreferrer"><em>Masters of Scale</em> podcast</a>, which is all about how uber-successful people/companies got where they are.
