Pinterest is a visual discovery and inspiration platform where people find and save ideas for projects and interests, from recipes and home decor to fashion and travel. Founded in 2010 and headquartered in San Francisco, it lets users organize images called Pins into themed collections called boards, and increasingly acts as a shopping-and-discovery engine powered by visual search and AI. Publicly traded on the NYSE, Pinterest reached roughly 631 million monthly active users and $4.2 billion in 2025 revenue, earning nearly all of that from advertising.
Stan Lee: How Spider-Man Came Into Being
In this short, heartfelt talk, comics legend Stan Lee tells the true (and hard-to-believe) story of how Spider-Man was created. He recounts being asked by his publisher to invent a new superhero, spotting a fly crawling on a wall, and landing on the idea of a wall-crawling, web-slinging teenager with real-world personal problems. His publisher rejected the idea outright, so Stan quietly slipped Spider-Man into the final issue of a dying magazine, Amazing Fantasy. When the sales figures came back, the character was a runaway hit. Lee turns the anecdote into an inspirational message: if you have an idea you genuinely believe in, don't let anyone talk you out of it, and always do your best work by doing what you want, the way you think it should be done.
