Host
Rapid Response
As the former editor in chief of Fast Company, Bob Safian was the first magazine editor to put Mark Zuckerberg on a cover. His keen eye for where the winds of business are blowing helped him identify innovators at Airbnb, Spotify, and Uber long before the rest of the business world caught on. Every Tuesday and Friday on the Rapid Response podcast, Bob guides listeners through the murky waters of modern times with a genuine optimism and openness to new ideas.
