Hi—I’m Reid Hoffman, co-founder of LinkedIn, partner at Greylock, co-host of the Possible Podcast (https://link.chtbl.com/possiblepod), and co-founder of Inflection AI. I’m interested in technology and ideas that enable human progress. I use YouTube to share some of the conversations I’ve taken part in, along with my thoughts on AI, innovation, starting and scaling businesses, and more. My AI avatar, Reid AI, makes the occasional appearance here, too. I serve on nonprofit boards such as Endeavor, New America, Opportunity@Work, the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered AI, and the MacArthur Foundation’s Lever for Change. If you like what you see, you can subscribe for more.
