sort of a soft statement. if you really want to spend time and -- paul: if you really want to spend time, do it public. that is really what has to happen here. we are many years of change before we see a new twitter emerge. i think it is a very naive way of thinking about how investors look at your company. it is something i have a lot of trouble with. emily: i want to talk about facebook, which crushed it. mark zuckerberg asked for a new stack -- a new class of stocks. i asked what that actually means. >> i think a new class is a tricky issue. when things are going well, it is a good thing. when things aren't going so well, it can be a bad thing. this particular juncture, i think he has earned the right to continue to steer the ship because he is steering in a great way. emily: what is your reaction to that? cathie: he has done such an

>> viacom, sharing of ad revenues with them, and now nbc. it is great that the content cycle is growing. the younger audiences there. the problem with scaling is that you need to have this platform to be a lot more programmatic. surveys,ok at marketer they suggest that there is more work to be done on measurement that they can derive out of these platforms. there is some risk in terms of like meeting those expectations longer-term. they should be fine with these deals on going. they need to really execute on making a platform or programmatic. -- platform more programmatic. a partnership with snapchat will be happening via buzzfeed, which nbc is an investor in. what do you make of this sort of

application we launched, which also accelerated our desktop growth. we continue to focus on our core business product, such as recruiter and sponsored content. emily: why using linkedin shares have been so volatile after earnings? it seems like investors have such a strong reaction. jeff: you would have to ask the investors. volatility, and at times we're going to do our best try to provide any visibility we can't -- provide as much visibility as we can into the business. as our business continues to grow, we are introducing something additional lines, and i think it takes time to have people learn those businesses and calibrate expectations. you said that the addressable market for linkedin is $12 billion.

you are penetrated about 20% there. if the market is large and penetration is low, why can't you grow that business faster, like a facebook? jeff: the objective is to grow the business faster over time. we are investing in our recruiter application. we just rolled out the next generation version of that application. it is a complete overhaul, the largest overhaul of its kind in the seven years we have been operating that product. rolled out to new skews, and we see a growth catalyst in our career pages. we have also been investing in our job seeker application and the active job seeker use case on linkedin. that has become one of the fastest-growing parts of the site. all of this should help future growth. emily: that is two thirds of your business. would you say that the business is now mature or saturated

because growth is decelerating? jeff: hardly saturated. dollars multi-billion that we believe we could further penetrate by virtue of these new products that we are rolling out and improvements to existing products. positive growth ahead. emily: let's talk about mobile engagement that is driving the ad business. how much do you see growth accelerating in a digital ad market where facebook and google are king? jeff: we are focused on the b to b components of that. we think we bring unique data and context. sponsored content has been our fastest growing scale at this time. growth drivers continue to be acceleration of engagement, engaged sessions, which generates the inventory for our sponsored content business, increase in the

number of customers who are sticking around and purchasing more. improvements to targeting. we're going to continue to develop and improve our apis. we are starting to pile off network sales of sponsored content as well. all of those things could contribute to future growth in that part of the business. emily: let's talk about china. you have 20 million members now, more than the 18 million a couple of months ago. have developed a china team. when we spoke, you said that you have hardly cracked the core -- cracked the code, i should say. what would it take to crack the code? jeff: we're going to continue to learn the best way to meet the needs of members and customers in the market as long as we are there. we started by localizing the global platform. we have been seeing very strong growth in terms of new members.

we also launched the first localized application in china and recently, we saw sign-ups growing in parallel with the core platform, which was very encouraging. we are just going to continue to learn. we have a very talented team in place, and as we continue to grow the membership, we are now increasingly turning our attention to engagement. mass,hat reaches critical we will focus more on modernization. seey: at what point will we the scale contribute more meaningfully to the business? jeff: it is contributing today. it is still early days. selfnk everyone would like navigator and our sales solution business to replicate the success and growth trajectory of recruiter. our talent solution business is now well north of $2 billion. it is a hard act to follow, but

we had a great team in place and i feel we're off to a strong start. emily: given that linkedin is becoming more of a mature company, do you need to hire some more enterprise, sales focus people who can take the business to the next level? i definitely think we have the right team in place. it is really a portfolio of products at this point. we have high growth products, durable growth products, and we're going to continue to invest in those opportunities. durables of more growth, we are focused more on marginal expansion. i think we have exact team in place to make those of -- to make both of those things possible. emily: how would you describe the macro environment? we have seen other tech companies take a hit due to currency issues, for example. jeff: we haven't seen any material impact to the business. as a matter of fact, after the first quarter, or going into the

first quarter i should say, we talked a little bit about some challenges in the asia-pacific. we actually saw strength across all of our business lines. a measure that is as much a statement -- across all of our business lines in india. we didn't really see any impact macroeconomic forces. emily: my conversation with linkedin ceo jeff weiner. --zon about to get louder pandora thousand to get louder after losing much revenue over the past year. a familiar face as ceo. ♪ [ cheering ]

expanded into new features. that pandoraorted had explored a sale earlier this year? it is.tergren -- tim: ahead. we spent 10 years building the underpinnings of a really big business. that is where we are headed. emily: in the corner, active listeners ticked up, but still not a huge increase. what will it take to drive that growth even faster? tim: we have 100 million people come to pandora every three months, and about 80 million every month. the first half is, how you make those quarterly listeners monthly listeners, and then make daily listeners. ce andatalyst for us is auto, making it a habit in more places. we will start rolling out some or expansive features, more on demand, that will allow us to provide for all the things they

emily: cars and trucks make up about 22% of u.s. climate pollution and 17% globally. so, fighting climate change comprehensively will mean gradually reducing that to zero with new vehicles with clean technology and power. electric vehicles could one day be the answer to truly cleaner cars, but for now, the way electric vehicles get their power may be dirtier than you think. needre is a fact -- we cleaner cars of we want to slow down climate change. cars and trucks produce almost one quarter of u.s. green -- u.s. gas emissions in the u.s.. be road to clean cars might longer and dirtier than you think. here's the situation. back in the 90's, europe pushed more diesel cars with tax incentives. the problem is, while diesel engines produce less than gas

engines, they produced a number of horrible -- of harmful pollutants such as dark -- such as nitrogen reacts i. -- nitrogen oxide. the u.s. gave $1 billion to the u.s. auto industry to develop a car that could drive 80 miles to the gallon. that never materialized. 20 years later, the average fuel economy of cars sold in the u.s. is just over 20 miles a gallon. companies have been betting on electric cars. >> why are we making electric cars? it is because it is very important to accelerate the transition to sustainable transport. sayssla boss elon musk electric cars are cleaner than the gas driving counterparts, and are the fastest way to reduce emissions in the transportation sector. some questions whether they are all that clean, pointing out that they often charge their batteries from electricity in coal burning plants.

that is changing as electric grids get greener and increased power demand from electric cars could drive investment in clean energy. but, transforming the world's power grid could take decades. critics say emissions like europe's diesel push and the u.s. supercar show the danger of governments trying to pick winning technologies. fuel-efficientof cars point to california, where rebates to consumers and regulations on manufacturers encourage cleaner technologies. in china, sales of electric vehicles are growing rapidly. not so in india. ine demand for new cars these countries could quickly cancel the progress of the quest for cleaner cars. emily: so, which car companies are leading the race to bring electric vehicles to market? ford announced its plan to release an electric vehicle that would go to hundred miles without a charge and can be with

tesla's model 3. tim, which will be first to market, ford's 200 mile electric car or the model 3? think tesla is winning the race by creating excitement. which isthe model s, fun, but also very expensive. that is what the promise of the model 3 is therefore, kind of a mass-market vehicle that goes to hundred miles within charges -- 200 miles between charges and goes in the $35,000 range. ceo saysnts by ford's that they want to play in that field with tesla, gm, nissan. emily: we did speak with the ford ceo this week. look at battery electric, plug-in hybrid, and full hybrid vehicles, we are the number two seller in the u.s.

across the board of electric vehicles, and the number one seller of plug-in hybrids. we are also investing another $4.5 billion in electric vehicles between now and the end of the decade, so that when we get to the end of the decade, 40% of our nameplates around the world, not just in the u.s., will be electrified. emily: aside from ford and electric carmaker surely be watching over the long-term? maters, -- general motors, this year will have the new boly, which is -- the new bolt, which is their new vehicle. gm has been making a lot of noise for a number of years about how it can create this technology and make it appealing to everyone. bolt, which was essentially an electric vehicle, it had extra
