Joe Lonsdale has built several multi-billion dollar companies. He's a prolific entrepreneur, investor and philanthropist. 

We discussed why he dislikes the title of our show (Where Madness Lies), his path from PayPal to Palantir, his frustration over the abundance of incompetent cowards in government, lessons from his father and some childhood anecdotes, what it was like being so successful at such a young age, his awkward teenage years, why he moved to Texas, his framework for cultivating talent, getting in trouble on social media, and more.
