Episode 1204
In this episode, we dive into the life of Larry Page, the "futurist" computer scientist who co-founded Google and reshaped the internet. Born to computer science professors, Page grew up in a house overflowing with tech magazines and was the first kid in his elementary school to turn in homework on a word processor,. We trace his journey from a Stanford dorm room—where he and Sergey Brin built the "BackRub" crawler using spare parts—to the garage in Menlo Park where Google Inc. was officially born,,.
We explore Page’s complex evolution as a leader, including his early removal as CEO in favor of "adult supervision" under Eric Schmidt and his eventual return to the helm in 2011,. Listeners will learn about his unique management philosophies, such as the "toothbrush test" for acquisitions and his "10X" mentality, which demands products be ten times better than the competition rather than just incrementally improved,.
Finally, we examine Page's pivot to "moonshots"—ambitious projects ranging from extending human life to developing flying cars—and the massive restructuring that created Alphabet Inc.,,. Join us for a look at the reclusive billionaire who set out to organize the world's information and ended up creating a corporate empire of "Other Bets",.
