Mike Hoffman is fresh off of "Entrepreneur prom" – the annual gathering of Inc.'s 5000 fastest-growing private companies. As Editor in Chief, Mike oversees the media outlet that serves as the handbook to business owners and operators. The companies gracing the pages of Inc. today will likely be on the front page of the Wall Street Journal tomorrow. On this episode of Press Profiles, Mike discusses his path from reporter to editor and eventually to the top of the masthead. We chat about some of his favorite startups (including a company where Courtney Cox is channeling Monica Geller on the road to success), the role AI is playing for young companies, how Covid created a generation of resilient companies and why young journalists should seek out the “least glamorous thing in the newsroom.”
