The Benefits of Thinking Like an Entrepreneur | Reid Hoffman

About this episode

<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. And now he has a new book, also called <a href= "https://book.mastersofscale.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener noreferrer"><em>Masters of Scale</em></a>.</p> <p> </p> <p>This episode explores: how to train for an entrepreneurial mindset; how to live a life that minimizes the odds of burnout; how to network without it feeling icky; the value of curiosity; the importance of "failing fast"; how to deliver feedback in a stressful environment; and how he thinks we can make capitalism more compassionate and equitable.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Be sure to listen to our new podcast, <a href= "https://10percenthappier.app.link/bIddyPEamkb" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Twenty Percent Happier</a>, available exclusively in the <a href= "https://10percenthappier.app.link/install" target="_blank" rel= "noopener noreferrer">Ten Percent Happier app</a>. </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Full Shownotes:</strong> <a href= "https://www.tenpercent.com/podcast-episode/reid-hoffman-391" target="_blank" rel= "noopener noreferrer">https://www.tenpercent.com/podcast-episode/reid-hoffman-391</a></p> <p> </p>
