He's the co-founder of LinkedIn.

He's a partner at Greylock, which is a big venture capital fund.

He's the host of Masters of Scale, a very popular podcast, which is all about how uber

In this conversation, we talk about how to actually train for an entrepreneurial mindset,

how to live a life that minimizes the odds of burnout, how to network without feeling

icky, the value of curiosity in the workplace, the importance of failing fast, how to deliver

feedback in a stressful environment, and how he thinks we can actually make capitalism
