I just love how at the start of the video he says "Thank you Sam" and then talks about the greatest founders of our time, little did he know "Sam Altman" the man he just thanked would be added to that list very soon.
He knew very well, Reid’s a good friend and big investor in Sam/OAI
Thanks for sharing! I love Reid Hoffman's examples of the founder's mindset. The phrase "You have to be both" regarding seemingly opposite things is exactly what I've noticed while building products.
Fantastic talk! Reid's content is always on point.
This guy had a hard topic...and I thought he did really good. That "almost no insight jargon" that everyone is complaining about, is actually valuable when you are in the midst of creating a start-up..
So what u created i would love to chat with yoi

How did you manage to get Benjamin Franklin on the team(25:41 lower right corner)? I hear he's hard to get, but he'll work for $14 a week.
He co-founded that corporation known as the United States.

The main idea of the video: the projects are different, the conditions are different, the people are different; Therefore, there is no exact decision on what to do and whose behavior model to copy. There is no template how to be a great founder!

Sometimes huge successful ppl can't explain their self clearly ... i get almost zero info from this guy
Yep, Reid is not that famous for clarity of his talks.
I met him in person after the talk, I was surprised how arrogant he actually was. He seemed nice and kind person before I met him in person.
really? I never expected that
I am surprised that you are surprised by the fact that some1 who speaks 90% of the time how he is "contrarian" and all other "intelligent people" around him were wrong, but he was right, to be arrogant. You should've been surprised if he wasn't. Try to see what people are saying, not how they are saying it.
me either..
11maxed11 lol worst advice I’ve ever heard “try to see what people are saying, not how they say it”. Dude anybody can say anything. In certain situations you should watch what people are actually saying but most of the time you should listen to how they say it because that’s where the truth lays
Shilling Bitcoin in 2014… Should have listened to the guy!
Wait hold on! Did that guy just speak Chinese and he answered?
18:36 he knew about BITCOIN in 2015 😱🤯
All Reid managed to do was build the network though, it still isn't profitable
He IS MIXED AND UNBALNCED CONTRANIAN...
Key takeaway, don’t get “hosed”.

Say wuuuuuut? Does he speak chinese?
25:47 one of those "Founders" is in jail now, don't be like that founder. lol
It sucks investors are always looking for technical founders and no husband and wife teams.
this must be old?
Did he just spend an entire talk explaining that you have to understand nuance?
.
Anybody else annoyed how many times he uses "contrarian"?
