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.
