Jason Silver is a multi-time founder of kids and a multi-time founder of companies. He gets his biggest thrill helping modern employees and their teams unlock a better way to work—surfing is a close second. He was an early employee at Airbnb and helped build an AI company from the ground up back before AI was the cool thing to do. Today, he advises a startup portfolio valued in the billions on building great, lasting companies that people enjoy working for. He’s a sought-after public speaker, instructor, and advisor on how to transform work into one of the biggest drivers of positivity in your life. When he’s not busy helping people solve their hardest workplace challenges, Jason’s kids are busy reminding him just how much of a work in progress he still is, too.

Episode Insight: You don’t need different work to feel better; you need to do the work you already have differently.

Background: In this episode of Reflect Forward, I interview Jason Silver, a startup advisor and author of the book The Grass Is Greener. Jason shares his journey from working at startups like Airbnb to founding his own companies and ultimately writing a book focused on finding joy in work. He discusses practical strategies for achieving this, including better decision-making and aligning tasks with personal enjoyment. Jason emphasizes the importance of being intentional about how we approach work to increase satisfaction and productivity. The conversation also touches on Jason's personal inspiration for writing the book, stemming from a tragic personal loss, and his drive to help others find joy in their professional lives. I know you’ll love this interview as it’s packed full of great advice, and it will tug at your heartstrings.
