In today’s episode, I sit down with Nirav Tolia, Co-Founder and 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.
