This week, I talk with Steph Smith, someone I consider a true curator of the internet. Steph is a writer, podcaster, and currently the host of the A16Z Podcast for the venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz. She’s built an incredible online presence with her viral articles on remote work, productivity, and more, which have stood the test of time. Steph’s work has led her to opportunities like running the Trends Newsletter for The Hustle and creating projects like Internet Pipes and her podcast, The Shit You Don’t Learn in School. I admire Steph for her ability to expose people to new ideas and possibilities in their careers and lives. In this episode, we discuss her journey, her philosophy on impact, and how she approaches building her unique and impactful career. I think you’ll find her story and insights as inspiring as I did. Let’s get to it!

“I kind of just grew up being thrown into all these things. And I thought that was totally normal, to be the kind of kid who did dance, but also chess and weird sports like curling. I realized as I was older that, oh, it is actually quite nice that there are very few things that feel extremely foreign to me.” ~ Steph Smith
