  • Why is Reid Hoffman platforming anti-Semite Hamas supporting Amjad Masad?

    Masad is very public in his hate of the Jewish people. Hoffman, in the interview, lobbed a couple of softball questions at him but allowed Masad to use his platform to come off as a very normal and reasonable person. Why is it acceptable a noted vocal racist (check out Masad’s public record)? Why not ask him more pointed questions? I would urge anyone who is in favor of an anti-racist agenda to drop this podcast from their feed.

  • Better Than Harvard Business School

    I love Masters of Scale and especially Jeff Berman as host. (Reid, I love you too but Jeff’s voice and questions are so comforting)

    I don’t know another way you’d be able to get a glimpse of the inside of successful companies like Chomps, Anastasia of Beverly Hills and Liquid Death and their scaling journey, and more importantly inside the minds of their founders. I’m grateful for the inspiration and the instruction as I’m scaling my company. Thanks for creating this show and letting me listen... more

  • Cringe Worthy

    Sadly, a truely cringe worthy podcast, cohosts, interviewees and callers spend so much time sucking up to Reid and telling him how great he is it’s impossible to listen to it. A real pity.
