Welcome to the show. I'm Jordan Harbinger. As always, I'm here with producer Jason DeFilippo.

Today we're back with part two of my interview with Reed Hoffman. He's the founder of LinkedIn,

investor at Greylock, and host of the podcast Masters of Scaling. People refer to Reed as the

Oracle of Silicon Valley. He can spot unicorns, companies that are just going to explode in value,

brings together all the best life lessons from the last season on Masters of Scale that might be

useful for a grad, entrepreneur, or anyone navigating big decisions. A quick backgrounder on Masters

of Scale. In each episode, Reed sets out to prove it theory about how businesses grow from zero to a

this by talking to a famous founder about their lives. It's a business show, but it doesn't sound like

a business show. So what you'll hear today is both my interview with Reed Hoffman and also segments

from Masters of Scale where Reed interviews some truly amazing founders. In part one of this

episode you heard from Spotify's Daniel Eck, Instagram's Kevin Sisterum, and Marissa Mayer of

Google and Yahoo. Today we're back at it and kicking things off with someone from my hometown

of Detroit, Michigan. It's Stacey Brown Philpot, CEO of Taskrabbit. In this Masters of Scale clip,

Stacey talks about her first job and how it taught her grit. Pretty early in the game, let's have a listen.

I grew up on the West Side of Detroit. It wasn't the best neighborhood, it wasn't the worst

neighborhood, but people looked out for each other. Of course later on things got worse for a lot
