🤬 First a warning: This podcast includes a few swear words. It’s impossible — or at least not as fun — to talk about Deadwood without them. It is what it is. 🤬

The main topic is Deadwood (HBO, 2004-2006) and what can be learned from the show, but of course, this being David & I, we also talk about:

* founders,

* entrepreneurs,

* obsessive creators,

* the power of focus,

* the power of strategy,

* how civilization emerges,

* intelligence as a currency,

* violence as humanity’s fatal flaw,

* sanitized origin stories,

* addiction & abuse,

* Andrew Carnegie,

* Henry J. Kaiser,

* Henry Singleton,

* David Ogilvy,

* Walt Disney,

* Warren Buffett,

* planting seeds,

* optionality from future technology,

* the lessons of history about violence and corruption,

* and all kinds of other interesting things.

We also talk about Tombstone (1993), which I hadn’t seen at the time, but watched soon after we recorded. I shared some thoughts on it here in edition #338.
