Hoffman teaches these techniques at Stanford which goes a long way into explaining why the technology sector in Silicon Valley is so awash with illegal practices and frankly Stanford should be held to account for holding at least some responsibility for the emergence of illegal surveillance capitalism as a business model - a model which causes massive harm to human rights and society as a whole. In his own words, Hoffman does not consider laws to be relevant to the business world and shrugs them off as "little fires" that you can just leave burning because they are irrelevant. That he celebrates his technique as being the same as the Nazi's during the Blitzkrieg should set off enough alarm bells but the fact that throughout the book Hoffman encourages wholesale law breaking as an acceptable tactic to scale a company is just beyond words. Reid Hoffman's books is a bible of illegality. Using the framework provided by Hoffman and Yeh, listeners will learn how to design business models which simultaneously support growth at a furious pace and capture the market as well as how to navigate the necessary shifts in strategy needed at each level of scale.
