What I'd Like to Say About This Conversation Is This Is Like This Was Too Much Fun

5min

I’m very happy to share with you this conversation with my two very good friends, Jimmy Soni (📚✍️) and David Senra (🎙📚).

We discuss Jimmy’s excellent book The Founders: The Story of PayPal and the Entrepreneurs Who Shaped Silicon Valley, while taking 57 different tangents and detours into things that we find interesting or that are indirectly connected to the main story.

I hope you enjoy this special Book Club edition!
