Episode notes

I was listening to Tim Ferriss's podcast and he had a guy named Jocko Willink this is like six years ago. I read Ben Franklin and Nelson Mandela then I narrowed it very soon realize I'm gonna niche down And just do biographies of entrepreneurs because nobody else was doing it. The teachers are the life stories of history as entrepreneurs who are talking directly through to you. You can't lecture to 300 people a time if you lecture to three million, right? So his response was excellent. He's like the podcast is my military history course Founders is a course on history of entrepreneurship. There's no way across his name like me. Oh whatever there you go.

David Senra is a podcaster. He is the creator of the Founders Podcast, which deconstructs history’s greatest founders. Basically, he reads an autobiography of a famous founder or high performer (like Michael Jordan or Jay-Z) and then does a podcast on it.

Currently, there are over 280 episodes to choose from. It has quickly become one of my favorite shows in the world. In this episode, we talk about David’s troubled upbringing, the importance of connecting with yourself, why he’s rewatched a Larry Bird video on doubters thousands of times, and why he believes we’re at the beginning of an industry with podcasting.
