About this listen

Think you know how Google started? Think again. This is the real story behind the world’s most popular search engine—and it’s not what you expect. Discover how two Stanford PhD students accidentally created Google’s game-changing algorithm, tried to sell it for just $1 million (and got rejected), and nearly killed the company three different times. Learn how Yahoo passed on history’s craziest deal, what happened when Google almost replaced its magic formula with a flop called “Boston,” and why the whole internet could look totally different. From hidden struggles to huge “what-if” moments, this episode pulls back the curtain on Google’s secret history and will change how you see the digital world—forever.
