Founders
Learn from history's greatest entrepreneurs. Every week I read a biography of an entrepreneur and find ideas you can use in your work. This quote explains why: "There are thousands of years of history in which lots and lots of very smart people worked very hard and ran all types of experiments on how to create new businesses, invent new technology, new ways to manage etc. They ran these experiments throughout their entire lives. At some point, somebody put these lessons down in a book. For very little money and a few hours of time, you can learn from someone’s accumulated experience. There is so much more to learn from the past than we often realize. You could productively spend your time reading experiences of great people who have come before and you learn every time." —Marc Andreessen

I’ve listened to almost all the episodes. This is the best podcast ever.
Great podcast!

Currently my favourite podcast! As a young business owner, I find that learning about these incredible founders and their processes gives me an insight to how I should look at business, life and work. I’ve brought some lesson into my company and it has been very beneficial! David, you do such a great job delivering each founders story making the episode(s) entertaining and thought provoking!

Good podcast but the host goes and just embellish everything the subjects do without criticism making the podcast bland and without character.
Content: great. Performance: fail.

If this were an audible rating, it would be 5 stars for content, but 1 star for performance. The host reads in a bizarre way that is reminiscent of when AI is reading an article to you but the intonation makes it either impossible to pay attention to, or annoying. The host reads as though almost every word is bold, underlined, and italicized; and he also reads in an awkward way that seems fairly uncomfortable. He does not edit out his mispronunciations. David: you're making reading sound hard. The listener wants things to be smooth and charismastic in a way that actually makes sense- take a gander at You've Got Mail and note how Meg Ryan captivates an audience by reading as though she doesn't need to look at the words. For the love of god, please stop reading your excerpts like the lazy CEO's who have to read a script for their earnings calls because they don't know the material well enough to just *speak*. My partner turns this podcast on at bedtime and I typically have to tell him to turn it down so that I can't hear it anymore because of how shouty and emphatic David reads every single quote. It makes everything sound unimportant. PS: the next time you're going to quote gore as you did in Li Liu's episode, realize that you're obligated to post a warning.
