At 35 years old, Steve Huffman has changed the face of the internet. While attending the University of Virginia, he and college roommate Alexis Ohanian sought to create the “front page of the internet” and a place of community.  And with that idea, Reddit was born.

After selling the company in 2006, Steve returned to his position as CEO in 2015 to help Reddit right the ship. Reddit is now the 13th most trafficked website in the world with 450 million monthly visitors and it’s valued at over 3 billion dollars.

I interviewed Steve in San Francisco, where we discussed his strategies for anger management, his sense of purpose in creating and then resurrecting Reddit, and the importance of mentorship.
