Who is making the dinner and cleaning up? Since Steven has so many guests on health, I am surprised that he did not push back more on eating badly in your twenties and being a workaholic. Of course, you do have to work hard to be at the top but it is not everything in life.

Watching these shows, I sometimes feel sad that I was born on a farm in a third-world communist country torn by war. I first heard about the internet around 2004-2005, and I managed to buy my first PC in 2008. Now I live in the West, and life is good. I'm a civil engineer, working as a consultant for a global company, and I also run my own design office. I probably live better than 80% of people in Norway. But it makes me sad that I fell behind in my early years when it comes to technological development-especially during the time when people are at their most creative. That’s why I’m determined to provide my children with the best possible education in the field of economics, so they can understand money and the world around them. They don’t have to work in economics or technology, but having knowledge in these areas is invaluable. As someone who was bombarded with communist propaganda in my early years, I still struggle to fully understand the economic system I now live in.

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

Growing up in the inner cities of America never provided me with the exposure and education you and I feel like we've missed out on.

Our 50th High School reunion was two months ago. We are still connected, share ideas and help each other. Some made billions, some raised super star kids, many of us started businesses, wrote books, got PhDs, law degrees. or MDs. It did not hurt that 60% of the kids were identified as gifted.

I worked at startup and it’s just not worth it. You get screwed as far as comp. Founders have it made, not everyone else

[@FluidLifeWays]

You’re with the wrong founder.

[@mmoya1135]

most startups do not IPO, let alone have the right founder. Not worth it. I’d much rather be a founder myself than work for one if I were to return to the startup space. It’s only worth it for new grads who have zero experience, couldn’t land a role at a top tier company and are aware they will be taken advantage of all for the sake of “building professional experience”. The one good thing is that I learned a lot of skills very quickly. But as one of the founding/early engineers, I definitely got screwed and unfortunately more than once

[@FluidLifeWays]

I hear you, however, you should not join a start up for experience if you have none. You should probably intern for an established business so you can get some base skills. Or try for an entry level position in a company that has brilliant people working. Again, so you can learn and watch how it’s done. People coming right out of school really don’t know much and are not typically valuable. They think they are - mostly. That’s why they think they are getting burned. The time to join a start up is when you have some skills/understanding of what “team” means, and you want to be a part of an idea - not a product. This way you are not on the outside of the winning team ( should they win) You are a valued indispensable participant working with a (hopefully) visionary founder’s journey. By the by, this answer is more for someone that might be reading our conversation. Sounds like you’ve made the journey- good luck to you.

But as you move to your founder position- don’t think for one moment that you won’t have to hurt some people on your way. It is inevitable. The tides shift and you WILL have to choose.

[@mmoya1135]

@@FluidLifeWays personally, I think that if you’re targeting people that already have experience, they need to be compensated above market with tangible cash not pretend Monopoly money. Or if you believe on the potential of the Monopoly money and you’re one of the founding members but not a co-founder yourself, you need a similar/high % amount of equity as the founders themselves. If not, again, if you want to be part of an idea and understand a team, better to be the founder yourself and execute on your own idea and build your own team. I might return to the startup space… as a founder myself

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"

I appreciate his humility and his recognition that luck played a big part in his success

[@SVN62534]

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.

[@fs5775]

@@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.

[@siriusinkheart]

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.

[@numbr17]

Exactly. And now Twitter (X) is 1000 times better, allowing people to speak their minds for the most part. Free speech is (should be) very nearly absolute in my opinion.

I seem to be in the minority, but I thoroughly enjoyed this discussion. On a different note, Steven, while you may regret your podcast's name in hindsight, I always interpreted 'CEO' as a nod to your guests-captains of industry, leaders, and experts in their respective fields.

[@monettestudios]

Hearing him talk about his chances at succeeding being at 25% is really interesting when it comes to Linkedin. Really as you are working on whatever your idea is, over time the more you show up and put the work in and collaborate with the right people you bring that number up. So when you are first starting out your chances are probably at 0%. It's really your job to show up consistently and bring that number up.

[@carllong8954]

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.

[@alina29566]

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

[@kayemoonflower]
