Episode notes

Argentine Stanford MBAs Marcus Galperin and his non-Kazaa wife found Mercado Libre, an online marketplace that would rival eBay and later Amazon. In August of 2007, Mercado Libre became the first Latin tech firm to IPO on the NASDAQ.

Human beings are social creatures, with a critical need to connect with others. This drive gives shape and meaning to our personal and professional lives. For entrepreneurs and business leaders, the path to success relies on strong, human-centered networks. In this special episode, we revisit the Masters of Scale Summit to hear from leaders, including our very own Reid Hoffman, who share inside stories on how to build — and nurture — professional and personal networks. Learn how to network with authenticity, multiply the positive attributes of your network, and recognize your own biases to prevent blind spots on your journey to scale.
