Guest: Al Gore, Former Vice President and chairman of The Climate Reality ProjectAl Gore has been talking about all kinds of renewable energy for decades. The former U.S. Vice President, Nobel Peace Prize winner, and star of An Inconvenient Truth says it's “thrilling” to see things like wind power and sustainable forestry becoming the norm. But as humanity continues its struggle against the climate crisis, he says, it's worth remembering that political will is also a renewable resource. Effective storytellers and political organizers can overcome the entrenched political power of the oil and gas industry, and young people are flocking to work for climate-conscious companies that share their values. In this episode, Al and Joubin discuss Abraham Lincoln, Silent Spring, “father of the United Nations” Cordell Hull, downhill skiing, “pursuing a grail,” Watershed, An Inconvenient Truth, the Inflation Reduction Act, trolling Newt Gingrich, former CIA director Bob Gates, “let the glory out,” and Greta Thunberg.In this episode, we cover: Which of Al's many accomplishments is he proudest of? (01:52) What he learned from his parents, a pioneering lawyer and a U.S. Senator — and why he decided to get into politics (05:32) Being an underdog and finding the energy to fight injustice (16:15) The distinction between work and play, and commitments of the heart (19:28) The “hidden truth about human endeavors” (28:05) Becoming a great storyteller and getting instant, actionable feedback (31:25) Al's “close as brothers” partnership with President Bill Clinton (36:44) Accepting hardship and renewing political will (48:08) How does Al renew his own energy?

Guest: Giancarlo “GC” Lionetti, CRO of Zapier“I live in a constant state of paranoia,” says Zapier CRO Giancarlo “GC” Lionetti, “which I guess is healthy and unhealthy.” A lifelong hard worker who shows up early and stays late, GC could have kept his job at team collaboration company Atlassian, which he joined before the company even offered stock options to employees. But his hunger for new experiences — and desire to learn things about new disciplines, like sales — took him away to unexpected new roles at Dropbox, Confluent and now Zapier. “If you asked me in every single experience what my next experience was gonna be ... I wouldn't have guessed the one that I ended up doing,” he says.In this episode, GC and Joubin discuss in-person retreats, the problem with “hybrid” cultures, in-office perks, dyslexia and ChatGPT, Atlassian as a “mini-MBA,” re-directing energy to find happiness, self-service businesses, “fitting the mold,” the space for meetings, and dinner at home with the kids.In this episode, we cover: The Grit tip jar and being an “anti-remote” person at a fully remote company (00:47) How GC compensates for not being able to walk & talk around the office (06:13) The dying art of being early, and GC's brand of hard work (09:03) His father's exhausting work life, and his first summer job (16:18) Is GC a “pusher” or a “puller,” and some crucial advice from Atlassian CEO Scott Farquhar (21:15) What he thought in the early days of Atlassian's ride to the top (27:48) What Zapier does and how it has helped GC and his wife as parents (31:29) “It was hard to take advice, because nobody understood this world” (34:25) Why did GC leave Atlassian for Dropbox?

Guest: Claire Hughes Johnson, author of Scaling People and Corporate Officer at StripeFormer Stripe COO Claire Hughes Johnson's new book, Scaling People, is not your typical business book: Informed by her experience scaling one of the most valuable private companies in the world, it's a tactical reference manual, “almost like a textbook,” aimed at helping managers wrestling with a variety of problems. And one of the big uniting themes is that, to solve anything, they're going to have to look inwards. “Leadership does not start with the other people in the room,” she says. “It starts with you ... if you don't know yourself, you are not gonna be very successful, because you have to understand your work style preferences, your habits, your blind spots.”In this episode, Claire and Joubin discuss in-demand books, Google pre-IPO, headcount as a proxy for success, paranoid mentality, self-driving cars, honoring commitments, the illusion of time, customer insights, “act like a founder,” asking for feedback, prioritizing and saying no, “steady Eddies,” imposter syndrome, fruit on the counter, layering titles, and making time for family.In this episode, we cover: Who should read Claire's new book, Scaling People, and how she expects them to read it (00:57) The challenges of building Stripe in its early days: “It was just consumed by it” (04:51) Why she left Google to become Stripe's COO, and what she did for them as the business was starting to take off (12:34) How Stripe hired the best people — including Claire — and how they could have done it even better (17:25) Leadership starts with self-awareness (26:05) Honest criticism that rocks your world, and taking feedback well (29:43) The “unauthorized guide” to working with Claire (36:18) Getting hired at Google by Sheryl Sandberg, and why Claire didn't follow her to Facebook (40:26) “Pushers and pullers,” a framework for working with top talent (46:43) What entrepreneurs can learn from Condoleezza Rice about impact, passion, and ability (58:33) Putting your (imperfect) expertise out into the world (01:02:03) Implementing Stripe's first performance feedback process, and why it still doesn't “do” titles (01:07:06) Having a life outside of work, and the “clarifying moment” of a surprise birthday party (01:15:26) Links: Buy Scaling People: Tactics for Management and Company Building Connect with Claire Twitter LinkedIn Connect with Joubin Twitter LinkedIn Email: grit@kleinerperkins.com  Learn more about Kleiner Perkins This episode was edited by Eric Johnson from LightningPod.fm

Guest: Javier Molina, CRO of StarburstStarburst CRO Javier Molina's peers, colleagues, and even his wife often tell him the same thing: He's difficult to read. That doesn't mean he's not listening, though; in fact, he's focusing on many different things, speech patterns, the words used in addition to the social cues, a habit he describes as both a superpower and his Achilles heel. “It allows me to interview really well and assess talent,” says Javier, who describes himself as a social introvert. “It allows me to read situations ... [but] I think a lot of people like extroverts because of how they're so expressive and flashy ... and that's not me.”In this episode, Javier and Joubin discuss Austin culture, making eye contact, social introverts, living in the future, self-awareness, betting on yourself, workhorse culture, reverse job interviews, short-term wins, in-car WiFi, great partners, and world-class interviewing.In this episode, we cover: San Francisco vs. Austin and the flood of techies moving to Texas (01:08) The “movie that you can't turn off” and assessing people quickly (05:49) Patience, focus, and being present (14:10) “What is a common misconception of you?” (19:53) Self-awareness as a proxy for potential, and feeling different from the crowd (25:04) Buying houses, and betting on yourself (32:00) Being hired as an executive, and the culture of teams at bootstrapped companies (39:00) What Starburst does and turning the tables on CEO Justin Borgman (45:44) Being intentional, celebrating wins, and “enjoying the climb” (50:31) Getting away from work, and the strength of entrepreneurs' relationships (57:22) The little things in interviews, and why “a problem well stated is half solved” (01:02:50) How to screen for grit (01:07:41) Links: Connect with Javier Twitter LinkedIn Connect with Joubin Twitter LinkedIn Email: grit@kleinerperkins.com  Learn more about Kleiner Perkins This episode was edited by Eric Johnson from LightningPod.fm

In the middle of the Great Recession, Thomas Dohmke quit a stable job at a good company because “I wanted to build stuff again.” Specifically, he was inspired by the release of the first software development kit for iOS, and wanted to be part of the mobile revolution. Two companies later and halfway around the world, he is the CEO of software development powerhouse Github and on the precipice of another revolution — that of AI tools such as Github Copilot.

Freshworks president Dennis Woodside copes with stress by running as often as he can, a habit that began when he was CEO of Motorola Mobility. So far, he has run “16 to 17” Ironman triathlons. He's also continually challenging himself in his professional life, leaving Motorola in 2014 to advise the founder-CEOs: Dropbox's Drew Houston, Impossible Foods' Pat Brown, and now Freshworks' Girish Mathrubootham.

The traditional approach to law firm marketing lacks malleability and imagination. In other words, it leaves no room for teams to react to a fast paced and ever changing market.

The best advice Brex founder and co-CEO Henrique Dubugras ever received came from Snap CEO Evan Spiegel: The best CEOs, Spiegel told him, are “extremely authentic to themselves ... If you try to emulate being Elon Musk and you're not like that, you're just gonna fail.” This wisdom has empowered Dubugras and his co-founder, Pedro Franceschi, to focus on the places where they can be most effective at Brex, and to be more authentic with their coworkers. In this episode, Henrique and Joubin discuss coaches vs. therapy, mutual crushes, “hacker famous,” big egos, why missions are overrated, dropping out of college, CEO's identities, the “Silicon Valley mold,” trojan-horsing Max Levchin, pivoting after two years, going to the ground, compensation and hiring myths, core customers, fixing expense report policies, and joining the Expedia board.In this episode, we cover: Growing up in Brazil and Henrique's relationship with his mom (01:07) The first company he sold, Pagar.me, and his co-founder Pedro Franceschi (07:11) Becoming “successful” and why it's fine to have a “f**ked up motivation” (10:35) ADHD, dueling superpowers, and focusing on the right things (15:56) Being an authentic CEO and not reading books (19:51) The radical changes Brex has experienced in the past three years (24:40) Brex's new spend management product and landing initial customers (30:30) The messages sent by how Brex structures its employee compensation (34:07) How Henrique and Pedro recruited top talent when they were just getting started (38:57) Pivoting a $12 billion company: “We can't do all these things” (43:33) The challenges of becoming more of an enterprise company than a Fintech one (50:34) Links: Connect with Henrique Twitter LinkedIn Connect with Joubin Twitter LinkedIn Email: grit@kleinerperkins.com  Learn more about Kleiner Perkins

Jon Levin has been teaching at Stanford for more than 20 years, and has been the dean of the famous Graduate School of Business since 2016. Although teaching at Stanford puts him in contact with some of the most promising future entrepreneurs in tech, he says he hasn't yet been tempted to leave academia for a startup because “I actually love being part of an institution that's gonna be around for hundreds of years.” As public trust in institutions has eroded in recent years, Jon and his colleagues have had to make changes. For example: Proactively challenging GSB students to think about “What does it mean to be a leader of an organization in today's world?”In this episode, Jon and Joubin discuss honorific names, applying research in the real world, matching med school students, the “endless frontier,” the globalization of innovation, the entrepreneurial “itch,” the erosion of trust in institutions, US-China relations, students from Ukraine and Russia, what the GSB admissions staff looks for, self-awareness, the “Touchy Feely” class, and the serendipity of in-person classes. In this episode, we cover: The John Bates Clark Medal, and researching economic topics like auction design (01:56) Nobel Prize winners at the Stanford GSB and the uniqueness of the US university system (10:15) Teaching entrepreneurial students and the value of institutions (16:30) Being affirmative vs. reactive and how Jon measures success (23:07) International MBA students and the importance of geographic diversity (27:27) Growing up in an academic family and how Jon's theory of teaching (34:47) The qualities that “great” GSB alumni have in common, and the gradual changes to business school cohorts (39:12)  The qualities of “great” faculty and what was lost when classes moved to Zoom during COVID (47:06) Links: Connect with JonLinkedIn Connect with Joubin Twitter LinkedIn Email: grit@kleinerperkins.com  Learn more about Kleiner Perkins

“Think about the pandemic without the internet,” says Cloudflare co-founder and COO Michelle Zatlyn. The world's sudden shift to doing almost everything online only worked because network engineers, IT administrators, and internet infrastructure companies like Cloudflare had done the work. Michelle says that, both personally and professionally, she's fine being under the radar because she doesn't need to be publicly reminded of the importance of her job: “It's like all the roads, the tunnels, the bridges ... when it works, it's magic. Really, you don't even know we exist.”In this episode, Michelle and Joubin discuss the pressure of success, advice for founders, low-drama startups, the power of the Cloudflare blog, internet security, the cross-country U-Haul trip, sweating the details, San Francisco as a “power center,” helping the next generation of founders, “the airplane effect,” injecting tension, why learning is a superpower, and choosing to feel the bumps in the road.In this episode, we cover: Carrying the torch for women in infrastructure and “just getting started” (01:15) Being under the radar and the over-glamorization of founders (07:19) Why it's so hard to hire & empower a great team (15:35) How Cloudflare is building a better internet (22:08) How Michelle, Matthew Prince, and Lee Holloway met and why they started Cloudflare (28:23) “Losing” at TechCrunch Disrupt's Startup Battlefield — and turning it into a win (34:10) Building remote vs. choosing to be in the SF Bay Area (40:54) “I don't understand why anyone starts companies” (46:28) How to run the best board meeting ever (55:31) Why Michelle brought her kids to the New York Stock Exchange for “Mom's Special Day” (01:00:51) The skill that sets good founders apart from great ones (01:02:34) How a back injury took away a year of Michelle's life (01:10:16) Links: Connect with Michelle Twitter LinkedIn Connect with Joubin Twitter LinkedIn Email: grit@kleinerperkins.com  Learn more about Kleiner Perkins

In Silicon Valley when business is good, it's normal for top talent to hop from company to company to company. But GE's Linda Boff, described by at least one of her peers as the "Beyoncé of CMOs," has stayed at the 130-year-old conglomerate for nearly 20 years, through radical changes to the business structure, and with plans to split into three public companies on the horizon. She attributes her longevity to the fact that four out of five days of any week, she's excited to come in: "I believe in this company," Linda says. "I would have the hardest time if that went away, and it never has."In this episode, Linda and Joubin discuss helping young people succeed, finding your passion, the 1980 Winter Olympics, Thomas Edison, Twitter advertising, sticktoitiveness, being excited for work, being impatient, trying to please everybody, and calendar time management.In this episode, we cover: How a chance encounter with Video Monitoring Systems founder Robert Cohen changed Linda's life (03:17)  Where Linda's work ethic came from, and her serial internships (06:21) Elon Musk and brand safety on Twitter (12:47)  Why Linda has worked at GE for almost 20 years, and how it became an "industrial powerhouse" (15:22)  Choosing to stay and giving a shit (21:40)  How much should you love your job? (25:57)  If she were starting over, what would Linda do differently?

PagerDuty CEO Jennifer Tejada has mixed feelings about how she is often portrayed in the press, as a “badass woman CEO.” The scarcity of female executives in enterprise means that it's often the first thing anyone wants to talk about — not her performance leading a $2 billion company, or her team. She has specifically designed that team to include more under-represented people like her, so that she is not “the only one in the room” — but one executive team isn't enough. “In my peer group, there's still not enough Hayden Browns, there's not enough Yamini Rangans, there's not enough Safra Katzes,” Jennifer says. “And that is a failing of the industry.”In this episode, Jennifer and Joubin discuss IPO chasers, the P&G Mafia, reward-centered leadership, participation trophies, serving others in a crisis, working women, plate spinning, perfect girl syndrome, unconscious bias, competitive offshore yacht racing, disconnecting from work, “re-finders,” interrupt work, consistent high standards, beginner's mind, talent identification, weird but beloved brand names, and dealing with grief.In this episode, we cover: The good side of market corrections, and investing in people (00:58) Learning how to fail and where Jennifer's work ethic came from (05:28) Her father's death and how she adjusts “when shit hits the fan” (13:03) Recognizing your own limits and working for your family (17:43) The double-edged sword of being a visible female CEO (23:13) Taking a break from your career to work on yourself (28:42) Identity in Silicon Valley and getting put in a box (35:09) How Jennifer got to PagerDuty and delivering value to customers (40:17) PagerDuty's IPO in the middle of a major pivot (45:23) Responsibility overload and self-criticism (49:36) Founder-led companies and the advantages of being a “re-finder” (52:55) PagerDuty's transition from one product to many (57:56) The “unfathomable loss” of Phylicia “PJ” Jones and being vulnerable with coworkers (1:00:36) Why grit is a requirement for success (01:06:52) Links: Connect with Jennifer Twitter LinkedIn Email: jennifer@pagerduty.com Connect with Joubin Twitter LinkedIn Email: grit@kleinerperkins.com  Learn more about Kleiner Perkins

When DVx Ventures co-founder Jon McNeill joined Tesla in 2015, he told his new boss Elon Musk: “You won't see me at least a day a week.” That's because Jon believes the job of any leader is to make time to talk to front-line workers who know things executives don't. While he was at Tesla he spent 20% of his time in service centers, support centers, or in retail stores, asking the people who worked there the same question: “If you had had my job for a day, what are the two things you would do to make this place better?”In this episode, Jon and Joubin discuss serial entrepreneurship, growing up without money, road trips, horizontal and vertical mentors, “our generation's Da Vinci,” first-principles thinking, sleeping in the factory, solving problems together, accelerometers, sharing bad news, the similarities between Lululemon and Tesla, “perfect product,” cash-incinerating businesses, transitioning legacy companies, and the Sutter Hill method.In this episode, we cover: Why Elon Musk bought Twitter and how he's running it, two weeks in (03:46) How Jon's father nudged him into an entrepreneurial mindset (06:12) Building an intentional, present  relationship with your family (10:15) What Jon learned from Intuit co-founder Scott Cook (15:55) How he got to Tesla, and learned how to work with Elon (18:55) The east Asia trip that birthed Neuralink and The Boring Company (24:56) Ramping up demand for the Tesla Model S and the “manufacturing hell” of the Model X (29:54) Solving problems under pressure and Jon's hack for staying sane (35:57) Recruiting world-class talent (41:05) What Jon asked Elon before joining Tesla (45:37) “Make them talk about you at dinner” (50:47) Simplifying things is an unfair advantage (54:27) What frontline workers know, and Jon's 20% rule (57:08) Lyft's “arms race” with Uber and what DVx's companies do differently (1:00:36) How Jon got to be on the board of GM (1:08:00) Links: Connect with Jon Twitter LinkedIn Connect with Joubin Twitter LinkedIn Email: grit@kleinerperkins.com  Learn more about Kleiner Perkins
