Helping Entrepreneurs Succeed: Reid Hoffman

by Scott Edward Walker on March 14th, 2012

To Our Clients & Friends: Welcome to our weekly series “Helping Entrepreneurs Succeed.”  Each week, we post a short video presentation or interview of a successful entrepreneur, investor or business leader on a variety of topics to help entrepreneurs succeed.  This week, we again present Reid Hoffman, co-founder of LinkedIn, a partner at Greylock and a brilliant entrepreneur.

In this interesting four-minute clip (courtesy of Stanford University’s Entrepreneurship Corner), Reid discusses the “entrepreneurship of your own life,” including (i)  the fallacy of the traditional career path; (ii) the power of globalization; and (iii) technology’s extraordinary disruption of certain industries.

You can view Reid’s entire presentation, including his Q&A with Stanford students, below.

I hope you enjoy this. Many thanks, Scott
