Billionaire LinkedIn founder traces his success to a childhood hobby

Reid Hoffman is one of the world’s most well-respected and sought-after startup strategists. Where did it all begin? Board games.

A babysitter introduced 10-year-old Hoffman to Dungeons and Dragons, and it kicked off a love affair with strategy-dense games that he’s carried with him to today, at age 50.

“There’s nothing obsessive like a kid,” Hoffman said in a recent interview for Business Insider’s podcast “Success! How I Did It.”

“I spent literally days and days and days and days just doing that, and that led me to a sense of strategy which was then, of course, very helpful when I later got to my entrepreneurial and business life.”
