In the last half century, relationships between employers and their employees have evolved away from being rooted in long-term loyalty to a new paradigm of short-term alliances driven by uncertainty and competition. Entrepreneurs and coauthors Ben Casnocha and Chris Yeh argue that the new world of work isn't so different from the typical conditions that many entrepreneurs operate in. And if you're a manager, you may need a new strategy to hire and retain top talent. Casnocha and Yeh, coauthors of the book The Startup of You, explain why it's important for your organization to build internal and external employee networks—and how to get started if you don't already have those groups in place informally.

Search "Slow Smoked vs Blitz Scaling while grilling kebobs and skewers" to find the full episode. Our show provides practical and real advice for entrepreneurs and people working in startups or tech companies. Jarrod spent more than a decade building a business from the ground up while pioneering an entirely new industry. The lessons he learned, the people he met, and the actions he took proved invaluable and now we want to share these stories with an audience.

The customer's transaction was quick and easy, but the preparation for that moment was immense. We understand that anything worth having takes a ton of time and work. We love working hard, watching the tech industry, and eating great food, and our show is a platform for these interests to collide.

What is Blitzscaling? How do you use it to grow and scale your business? Discover the secret sauce of silicon valley startups. Learn how companies like AirBnB, LinkedIn, Zara and several others embrace Blitzscaling to achieve massive scale in a short time.  We are excited to feature the book Blitzscaling authored by Chris Yeh and Reid Hoffman. A writer, investor, and entrepreneur, Chris has had a ringside seat in the world of startups and scaleups since 1995. Hundreds of companies, from garage-dwelling startups to Fortune 50 titans have tapped his knowledge and insights to accelerate and transform their businesses. Chris co-teaches the course "Technology enabled Blitzscaling" at Stanford University focusing on how Silicon Valley companies navigate rapid scaling, from dorm room to global giants.

During economic downturns, is it possible (or even wise) for startup entrepreneurs to deploy growth tactics? Will companies be able to secure funding? Should founders even consider starting a business during a bear market? "100%," says Greylock general partner Reid Hoffman. However, the specific ways startups approach high-growth strategies during high-risk economic environments is crucial, and it all depends on the leverage points they have over their competition. Hoffman and his Blitzscaling co-author Chris Yeh discuss how entrepreneurs can assess their position in the market and take action to get them to the next phase of super-charged growth.

A re-broadcast of our episode featuring Greylock general partner Reid Hoffman in conversation with his Blitzscaling co-author Chris Yeh. In this episode (originally recorded in May 2022), Hoffman and Yeh discuss strategies for entrepreneurs to navigate crises - whatever that may mean at the given time. Entrepreneurship assumes an innate degree of optimism and perseverance. But even the most determined founders can feel subdued when faced with yet another crisis. That's why adaptability is a startup's strongest asset. As recent global events push us into a new era of market volatility and economic uncertainty, companies must be prepared to recalibrate their business to the new reality. Whether that means pausing their hiring plans, tempering their expansion efforts, redirecting resources, or any other number of operational activities, today's startup leaders should have a set of defensive and offensive tactics they can quickly deploy during times of crisis.

There are nine million motorcycles in Colombia, a country of 60M compared to eight million in the US, a country seven times larger, and Brazilians own 14+ million motorcycles. In Latin America, motorcycles are not transportation, they're also a work vehicle for delivery and courier workers.Freelancers who work for delivery apps like Rappi, Uber and Didi use motorcycles and bicycles to make deliveries, but gig workers make ~50% more money if they have a motorcycle, because they can make deliveries faster and fulfill more orders per day.I sat down with Daniel Otero to talk about how he is tackling financial inclusion via his company Ozon, a platform that finances motorcycles for gig workers and couriers in Latin America. We also discussed his entrepreneurial journey, the growth of Latin America's Motorcycle market, the advantages and disadvantages of running a multi-country company, and Ozon's plans for the future.Latin American motorcycle use is more like motorcycle use in SE Asia In Mexico, gig workers purchase nine out of ten motorcycles and the motorcycle market is growing quickly. As more Latin Americans purchase motorcycles, they become more important to Latin American economies. Daniel believes that Latin America might look more like SE Asia in the future. .

A re-broadcast of our episode focused on one of the most critical (yet often under-analyzed) aspects of entrepreneurship: decision-making. As Greylock general partner Reid Hoffman and his Blitzscaling co-author Chris Yeh discuss, there are actually many things entrepreneurs can do to improve their decision-making skills. The central skill is learning how to be quick and decisive, and to adjust your course to avoid the worst of the mines.You can read the essay based on this discussion here: https://greylock.com/greymatter/how-to-decide/

“We make it so that TV commercials are as effective as a Facebook ad,” is how Noah Palanksy describes the mission of his AI company Taiv. Having a drink at a bar one night, he watched as the TV played an ad for  another bar down the street, and realized the potential for an establishment to promote itself on its own screen. Later, this idea evolved so that companies can now place their ads on the screens in bars, or anywhere where people congregate, to promote their business. From there, Taiv tracks where attending patrons then click, visit, or make purchases, after they leave the establishment.  About a year and a half into bootstrapping their company, Noah and his co-founders were accepted into the prestigious Y Combinator program, which helps startups companies to successfully launch. All of the priceless information they learned there would soon be put to the test as they worked through the challenge of selling a socially driven concept, right as the world went into lockdown. On this episode, learn why it's so important to have hobbies, the difference between being cheap and treating every dollar like it's your last.  Quotes: “To get enough funding to hire a few developers without giving up too much of the company is very challenging.”(8:50-8:59 | Noah) “Build something that people want, and actually figure out if you're providing value to people and don't just build a thing because it's cool.” (14:16-14:21 | Noah) “There's a million things you could spend money on and most of them are stupid.” (16:27-16:30 | Noah)  “The hardest part of my job right now is balancing between trying to build new products and iterate, trying to make the thing we have better, and how to get users using the thing we already have.” (41:32-41:45 | Noah)  “I think we're going through a transitionary period with advertising…so it's a good time to be doing something in this space.”(21:42-22:28 | Noah) Connect with Brendan Dell: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brendandell/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/BrendanDell Instagram: @thebrendandellTikTok: @brendandell39 Buy a copy of Brendan's Book, The 12 Immutable Laws of High-Impact Messaging: https://www.indiebound.org/book/9780578210926    Connect with Noah Palansky :Website: taiv.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/taivbox/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/noahpalansky/ Check out Noah's top 3 recommended books:The Hard Thing About Hard Things by Ben Horowitz: https://www.indiebound.org/book/9780062273208 Never Split the Difference by Chris Voss: ​​https://www.indiebound.org/book/9780062407801 Blitzscaling by Reid Hoffman and Chris Yeh: https://www.indiebound.org/book/9781524761417 Please don't forget to rate, comment, and subscribe to Billion Dollar Tech on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts!

A re-broadcast of our episode with Greylock general partner Reid Hoffman and his Blitzscaling co-author Chris Yeh discussing when, how, and why CEOs should speak publicly about political or social topics. Once considered strictly off limits to business leaders, speaking out about politics and social issues has become much more common. In fact, it's now often expected for a CEO to make a statement that communicates their company's values and position even on the most highly-charged or controversial topics. But getting it right requires careful consideration, as Reid and Chris discuss in detail. This conversation was recorded in 2020.

Quotes: 13:20 - “It really is the case that these feedback loops are getting stronger and stronger. [...] The feedback loop of talent and capital. We’ve seen this happen. Companies that breakout to an early lead find it much easier to attract great talent and the follow-on capital and that’s because people love a winner.” - Chris Yeh 13:53 - “Think of the number of millionaires that have been minted by the Facebooks and the Googles and the AirBnBs of the world.” - Chris Yeh 14:40 - “There’s a little bit of a controversy there because the term Blitzscaling is explicitly modeled on the term Blitzkrieg, which you may remember from your history lessons of WWII. It’s the concept of a lightning war, where your forces go out ahead of their supply line, and is moving faster than anyone is possibly anticipating. It’s a high risk, high reward s

Links: Apple/SpotifyThe biggest lie we've been told is that playing from a place of anger improves performance.Today's episode is a conversation with Andrés Alvarez. Dre first came on the show way back in Episode 11 where we discussed meta-cognition, group think, poker, chess, and basketball.Today's conversation with Dre started when I posted an article about Ted Lasso. Dre suggested we do an episode where we discuss what makes a good coach and/or teacher, to which I readily agreed.Like all of my conversations with Dre, on and off-air, this one took us to some fascinating places. We discuss:-Why do coaches punish players by having them run laps, sprints, etc.?-If the coach calls a play, and the players don't execute the play, is it the fault of the coach or the players?-The teaching philosophy of Dave Berri: Your job is to explain things.-Chris Yeh's thoughts on Ted as a knowledgeable soccer coach: Ted Lasso is unprepared to coach football.Here are some of my favorite quotes from Dre:-Being stoic when things are going wrong is really good at pissing people off.-If you're going to be doing something highly emotional, highly volatile, lots of moving parts, you have to keep yourself calm.-It's really hard to grade someone on a task without knowing how difficult that thing is to do.Dre has a Substack to which I encourage you to subscribe:If you liked this episode Dre and I are going to record a Ted Lasso Season 2 recap that will drop Monday, October 11, 2021.Please forward this to the Ted Lasso fans in your life and/or share on social media as that helps bring in subscribers to this newsletter.Speaking of coaching, my book Zen and the Art of Coaching Basketball: Memoir of a Namibian Odyssey launches on November 1st.A team of teenagers competes for the championship in Namibia's professional basketball league...

Chris Yeh is an entrepreneur, investor and author of several books, including two with the founder of LinkedIn, Reid Hoffman, the most recent of which is called "Blitzscaling." Today we cover the fascinating topic of blitzscaling - how to scale a business in record time, how to take advantage of significant market opportunities that are in front of you, how to focus on distribution, and leverage network effects. Whether you're a founder, a CEO, an investor in early stage companies, a developer, or leading a business unit or a function in a large organisation which might be at risk of going ex-growth, you'll learn valuable lessons from a lifelong learner such as Chris Yeh. What is Covered:  - The definition of blitzscaling: prioritising speed over efficiency in the environment of uncertainty - What kind of companies can blitzscale and in what kind of markets - Key growth factors and key growth limiters in blitzscaling - The counterintuitive rules of blitzscaling and what kind of CEO it requires - Examples of the companies which successfully blitzscaled  Key Learnings and Takeaways:  - A company would decide to blitzscale if it is facing a winner take most market that could be worth billions or trillions of dollars, and the company's objective should be to win that market. - In blitzscaling, product market fit is necessary but insufficient; necessary, because without product market fit, you can't have sustainable success, but insufficient, because other things like the winner take most market and the distribution are ultimately more important. - The reason to raise the money is not to spend it, but to give you that ability to adapt, and then ultimately to move faster when the time comes.  - The main danger for entrepreneurs is getting caught up in a local market that is not large enough to give them a stable position within the overall global economy.

Say It Skillfully® is a show that helps you to benefit from Molly Tschang's expert guidance on the best possible ways to speak your mind at work in a positive and productive manner. In Episode 73, the 11th feature of OUR VOICES, Chris Yeh—author, investor, speaker and mentor—shares his journey as a first generation born in the US after his parents were exiled from mainland China. Precocious, extroverted and audience-seeking, he recalls his anti-Tiger Mom and pivotal early mentor Harold Connolly, who won Olympic Gold despite being disabled. Product design engineering and creative writing majors at Stanford (along with improv, peer counseling, public speaking) led to a fascinating job search, including a D.E. Shaw “mystery letter” and 1st class flight (unthinkable). Luck was a theme; he stresses preparation is key. He notes the role of his competitive spirit and confronting reality: you can have it all, but not at the same time. With two young kids, he put family first and left all-consuming CEO life. He discusses his and Reid Hoffman's interest to explore and impact the world and how friends helped him gain self-awareness and empathy. He now thinks it vital to take on others' viewpoints and overcome racism. Other gems: “Take control of your own narrative” and “Don't get caught up with job title labels.” Thought for the week: “In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities, but in the expert's there are few.” —Suzuki Roshi.
