North Star Podcast
Description
My guest today is Matt Mullenweg, the founder and CEO of Automattic. Automattic is known for Wordpress, which powers a third of the internet. Matt and I talk about the democratization of the web, the early days of Wordpress, and how he makes sense of the incredible scale of the company. Then we discuss why Automattic bought Longreads, the content triangle, and the Caro books. Finally, we talk about his love of sci-fi, why writing is the ultimate long-now activity, and what’s next for Wordpress.
