Sergey Brin: podcast appearances and interviews

Sergey Mikhailovich Brin is an American computer scientist and businessman who co-founded Google with Larry Page. Born in Moscow, Soviet Union, he immigrated to the United States at the age of six and later earned a bachelor's degree in mathematics and computer science from the University of Maryland, College Park. He pursued further studies at Stanford University, where he met Page and together developed a web search engine that gained popularity on campus. This project evolved into Google, which was launched in a garage in Menlo Park, California, after Brin dropped out of his PhD program to focus on the company. Brin served as the president of Google's parent company, Alphabet Inc., until he stepped down from that role in 2019. Despite stepping down, he and Page remain at Alphabet as co-founders, controlling shareholders, and board members. Brin has achieved significant wealth and is recognized as a centibillionaire and one of the world's wealthiest individuals. In 2023, Brin returned from retirement to contribute to artificial intelligence research at Alphabet.
