Hoffman, LinkedIn co-founder, talks to founders like Mark Zuckerberg and Brian Chesky, proving his thesis that every great company starts with a crazy idea. The show’s production rivals This American Life, and its data points include a stat that 70% of startups fail due to premature scaling, a warning regularly discussed.
