Award-winning business advice from Silicon Valley and beyond. Iconic CEOs, from Nike to Netflix, Starbucks to Slack, share the strategies that helped them grow from startups into global brands — and to weather crisis when it strikes.
Our two formats help tell the complete story of how a business grows, survives and thrives, and the mindsets of growth that keep leaders in the game.
On each episode of our classic format, host Reid Hoffman — LinkedIn cofounder, Greylock partner and legendary Silicon Valley investor — proves an unconventional theory about how businesses scale, asking his guests to share their stories of entrepreneurship, leadership, strategy, management, fundraising. You’ll hear the human journey too — failures, setbacks, learnings.
From our Rapid Response format, you can expect real-time wisdom from business leaders in fast-changing situations. Hosted by Bob Safian, past editor in chief of Fast Company, these episodes tackle crisis response, rebuilding, diversity & inclusion, leadership change and much more.

Most future of work conversations revolve around the “where,” but Upwork CEO Hayden Brown says it’s more important to focus on the “who.” 10% of the workforce at Upwork, the global tech platform for millions of freelance workers, was directly impacted by the Ukrainian war.

Fan
I love it, got hooked since day one. My only criticism was that it was to Silicon valley techie oriented, but then on they started to invite other entrepeneurs from others worlds and that was it, I love it.
CO-CREATING ON YOUR TRUST EQUATION
Thank you for masters of Scale. Co-creating and building on your Trust equation: Trust=consistency+time.There is a missing component to the equation, the "What" and a "Why." The iterative equation would be:
Trust = Consistently helping others + time.= Consistently end up helping yourself + time (a natural by-product of trust ) A disclaimer I might add is that Trust and Market Fit are asymptotes in any market.
