In this course, Reddit’s Alexis Ohanian, Everlane’s Michael Preysman, and a team of Silicon Valley experts teach you how to responsibly prepare for the possibilities and challenges of building your own company.

The self-help industry is worth over a billion dollars, but advice from celebrities and stars doesn’t always stick. And now, more than ever, happiness feels very out of reach. So, in this course, we turn to academics, researchers, and scientists who give it to us straight — how can we be happy? Host and self-help skeptic Kristen Meinzer leads the search for what actually makes us a little stronger, a little more fulfilled, and a little happier.
Leadership
Your Network Is Your Net Worth
Chris Lyons of Andreessen Horowitz
As a Managing Partner at Andreessen Horowitz, Chris Lyons’s job relies on the strength of his network and his ability to leverage it to create new opportunities for his company and the founders he works with every day. Early in Chris’s career, one of his mentors, Silicon Valley pioneer Ken Coleman, shared a piece of advice he’ll never forget: “Your network is your net worth.” In other words: business is all about relationships. Being great at your job only gets you halfway there. Your network — and by extension your reputation — gets you the rest of the way. In this course, Chris shares what he’s learned over the years to help you build a more powerful, impactful network that can help accelerate your career.
