Learning From the Most Ruthless Robber Baron (Jay Gould) | Greg Steinmetz
Forward Guidance
The Rise and Fall of Elon Musk
Elon Musk courts the spotlight and you can tell you kind of rebels in it whereas Gould only used the spotlight when he needed to. He didn't really like being that well-known is that accurate yeah no he he ran from publicity but when he could use the press to his favor he did most.
