I interviewed Reid Hoffman for my podcast Venture Voice back in 2006. You might have been able to guess the year the interview took place by my description of his fledgeling website, LinkedIn, as “Myspace for professionals”. 

The file sadly had gone missing for over a year due to a server error and bad backup procedures on my part. I put a plea out for help on the VV Facebook page, and Jason Brady of Play Entourage came to the rescue.

The interview’s back up for your listening pleasure here and on the Venture Voice interview page

My favorite antidote as a recovering philosophy major is that Reid’s original career aspiration was to become a public intellectual. Smart pivot!
