Episode Details

In today’s episode, I sit down with Nirav Tolia, co-founder and former CEO of Nextdoor, the world’s largest local social network. With over two decades of experience leading pioneering Internet companies, Nirav shares insights from building Nextdoor, stepping away after nine years, and eventually returning as CEO in 2024. He reflects on the resilience required to create meaningful businesses, the importance of curiosity in navigating challenges, and why nobody gets paid to do the easy thing. From his early days at Yahoo to leading a public company, Nirav’s journey offers valuable lessons on leadership, perseverance, and the mindset needed to turn setbacks into success.
