Masters of Scale's mission is to democratize entrepreneurship. Podcast host Reid Hoffman and a key guest set out to describe and prove theories that explain how great entrepreneurs take their companies from zero to a gazillion. Most episodes begin with an entertaining tale that sets the stage for Reid to reveal a new theory about scaling. It then unfolds like a detective story as he tests and turns the idea with some of the most iconic masters of scale on the planet.
