RedZed’s head of marketing Angelo Klidomitis reviews small business podcast episodes you should listen to this summer. This week, it’s an episode of Masters of Scale with Reid Hoffman.

Episode 11: Escape the Competition with Peter Thiel

Running time: 45 mins

This is a brilliant podcast series that focuses on how businesses grow in different ways, and how successful businesses have managed the challenge of managing growth.

Reid Hoffman is a renowned Silicon Valley entrepreneur and investor. He’s had a hand in some of the most famous startups in the world. In this episode he speaks with Peter Thiel, one of the founders of PayPal.

They have a really interesting conversation, particularly given they went to uni together, and have very different political views.

Are you thinking about finance for your business? See how RedZed can help, and find out if a RedZed loan is right for you.

It’s also really interesting to hear the reasons why growth is so important for a businesses, and how to recognise when it might be time to sell.

The inherent tension involved with PayPal’s sale to eBay in 2002 and Thiel’s relationship with the company since is fascinating. 

I hope you enjoy it. You can find this episode on iTunes, Stitcher and the Masters of Scale website
