The Social Narrative... "The Accidental Billionaires" by Ben Mezrich is a non-fiction book published in 2009 that narrates the origins of Facebook, the multi-billion dollar social network. The book centers primarily on the relationship between Facebook co-founders Mark Zuckerberg and Eduardo Saverin. It traces the rise of Facebook from its inception at Harvard University in 2004 through its meteoric growth to become a global phenomenon. Although Mezrich’s narrative is based on true events, it is often written with a dramatic, novelistic style, leading to some criticism regarding factual accuracy.

Susan Wojcicki: Her legacy? Massive; Visibility? Surprisingly low; Impact? Off the charts. Susan Wojcicki's influence on Silicon Valley is akin to dark matter in the universe: largely invisible yet fundamentally critical to the structure of everything we see. Renting her garage to Google’s founders wasn’t just an act of kindness, it was strategic genius. She didn’t just house Google’s early days—she shaped its future. AdSense and her push for DoubleClick didn’t just change Google, they rewrote the rules of internet economics, turning every digital space into ad real estate and minting money on a scale previously unimaginable. Then there’s YouTube: a $1.65 billion gamble that turned into a cultural and financial behemoth under her watch. Susan Wojcicki’s legacy? Understated yet overwhelming. In a sea of noisy tech titans, she was the quiet strategist, the architect of the modern internet, proving that the most profound impacts often come from the most unexpected places.

Susan Wojcicki passed away this morning after fighting a two year battle with non-small-cell lung cancer. I had the very good fortune of working with her closely during my 14 year tenure at Google. I also had the privilege fighting many battles at Google with her to build and launch some of the most consequential products in tech. In a startup full of ambitious, bull-in-the-china-shop engineers, Susan had a quiet elegance to her that both tamed the craziness and inspired teams to push themselves to do things that they thought were impossible at the start. She helped launch AdSense, then became CEO of YouTube and quieted the infighting on the team. Along the way, she inspired so many teams to build so many amazing features on the Google Ads system that it still remains likely the most lucrative invention in the history of the internet. Most importantly, Susan could spot talent and was willing to nurture crazy misfits under her wing. My first year at Google was terrible and I was horribly ineffective. I was immature, had a bull-in-the-china-shop, get-out-of-my-way attitude which, in a company full of geniuses and highly experienced people who knew way more than me, was not welcome. The early managers I worked with deemed me unmanagable, and unbeknownst to me I was on a path to exit the company. Susan took me under her wing (likely as a last resort manager) and quietly whispered to me, "you have immense potential, but you need to find ways to help others understand your potential and the promise of your ideas." She paired me up with Gokul Rajaram and put us on the AdSense launch team. AdSense launched, I calmed down, and with Susan's coaching I was able to help start and launch Google Analytics, Google Voice, among many other highly visible products at Google that helped to define my career. Her quiet elegance set an example that made me wiser, more effective, and most importantly, taught me that the highest calling in life was to serve and enable others rather than just looking out for myself. Susan's ability to spot talent was unrivaled. She also helped nurture the careers and enable the success of many future tech luminaries. In additional to Gokul Rajaram (who is one the wisest product coaches and investors I know), Susan helped jumpstart the careers of Shuman Ghosemajumder (Shape Security and Reken co-founder), future Google CEO Sundar Pichai, founder and investor Josh McFarland and many others. Susan passed away at 56. She accomplished more in her career than much of Silicon Valley combined, while happily married to Dennis Troper and raised five children. In addition to her wonderful family she leaves behind a legacy of products that the world now can't live without, and an alumni of product luminaries and well-known founders that continue her legacy today. I will miss her, as will the many she helped to nuture.
