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

Best podcast to self improve
Hello David,
This is the best podcast I found few months back. Since then all my car drive is taken over by your podcast. I learn every time I drive , workout, do house chores etc. Funny thing was I found your podcast after finishing poor Charlie Alamanck. And this podcast is helping me increase my world view.
I have reached 148th episode, can wait to go over the upcoming 1000s of biographies. I have made an excel sheet of the books covered and have already selected the books to order.
Thank you for building this podcast.
Thanks

Amazing content
Great podcast, have been absolutely hooked and David is great to listen to and articulates extremely well
Would listen more if there was a female perspective at some point
This is a good podcast, however - are the topics only on men?
