In this episode we weave together stories of high-growth hell as told to us by Reid Hoffman and Max Levchin at PayPal, Ben Horowitz and Marc Andreessen at Opsware, Elon Musk at Tesla, SolarCity and SpaceX all at once, Dustin Moskovitz at Facebook, Julie Rice and Elizabeth Cutler at Soul Cycle, Chad Dickerson at Etsy, and Drew Houston’s hilariously botched TechCrunch50 debut.

No matter what you are going through right now, this episode will make you feel better about it.
