My guest today is David Senra. David is the returning guest of Chiwi Journal (episode #131). He hosts the Founders podcast, where listeners can learn lessons from historical and modern figures based on David's selection of a biography of an entrepreneur.
Last time, we focused on the top lessons previous founders can teach current founders and the most inspiring stories among 200+ stories David read. This time, we discussed:
- David’s top highlight of 2022 (the sixth year since he ran the podcast) and the reason behind joining the Colossus® network.
- What is the concept of a single-person billion-dollar company? How has a podcast host or a game developer set an example of this business model?
- How does David stay motivated and engaged in his work as the show grows when there may be more distractions?
- David's approach to reading and re-reading biographies, and what we can learn from founders outside the American market?
- Founders Podcast has covered many deceased entrepreneurs whose stories have stood the test of time. Which living founders would David like to have a conversation with?
- Some stories of how the Founders Podcast has directly impacted or supported the growth and success of its listeners.
- What does sportsmanship mean to David, and how does he incorporate the spirit of sportsmanship into his daily life and professional career?
- Talk about our favourite director Quentin Tarantino. What are some traits that make him stand out in the movie industry? What current content creators can learn from him to achieve success?
- What is the Founder Podcast's role in supporting aspiring entrepreneurs?
- How to cultivate children's reading habits?
