Web Masters is an original podcast that explores the history of the Internet through the stories of some of its most important innovators. In each episode, host Aaron Dinin, a serial entrepreneur and digital media scholar, talks with Internet entrepreneurs who created important websites, tools, services, and features. Some are hugely popular, some you’ve never heard of, and all of them have impacted everything you do online.
You’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at how the Internet has enabled -- and continues to create -- some of the greatest business opportunities in history from the people who have proven they know how to build successful Internet businesses.
Aaron began his career building Internet businesses as a college student reselling Palm Pilots online during the early days of eBay. He went on to launch multiple Web-based ventures, including content sites, consumer apps, and venture-backed SaaS companies.
Along the way, he earned a PhD in English and began teaching entrepreneurship at Duke University. He now spends his time mentoring the next generation of entrepreneurs and teaching social marketing. For more, follow Aaron on Twitter
