Description
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

Fantastic Review and Selected Wisdom of Various Bio’s
I’m on episode 69 or so, of the private paid feed. I love it, I’ve listened to hours upon hours of David sharing his thoughts, connections, and insights on numerous business leaders. I’ve read probably 70% of the books, but love being able to review the contents of books read years ago. David does a fantastic job of isolating key learnings, but more than that are the connections he teases out across these special entrepreneurs. I’ve picked up more than a few new ideas and it’s been well worth the investment in time. If you are a founder/ceo or aspire to be, you need to subscribe! 5-stars, haven’t found another podcast like it.

The best podcast you’ve probably never heard of before
Personally it’s one of my top 3 favourite podcasts. If you’re into business and startups and technology, this is for you. David covers good books and I’ve come to really appreciate his perspective. Can’t say enough good things. Listen to the James Dyson or Amazon Shareholder Letters episodes if you want to get hooked

Inspiring and a must
David does such a wonderful job relaying inspiring and important historical events from biographies of founders that changed the world. It’s helping to shape my own view of the world and how I can reach my own dreams. Strongly recommend.
David, so many thanks and keep at it.

Great Podcast on Entrepreneurship
This is exactly the kind of podcast I’ve been looking for. I love hearing the stories of how the greats originally made it. All the details of how ordinary men stepped up to create the extraordinary are what keeps me coming back for more, it’s what make the pages of history riveting. When the extraordinary set about it, that’s a Henry Royce or Edison. The details of Home Depot’s start are fascinating. I recommend this podcast to people who love business stories, it’s like hiring your own speed reader!
