One of the overarching themes on the “Founders” podcast is his idea of “learning from the world’s greatest entrepreneurs“. For the cost of a book, you can have a four or five hour conversation with some of the smartest people who ever lived. It’s amazing.
Something that host David Senra said in a recent interview on the “Invest Like the Best” podcast (listen to that episode here or watch it here) really drove that home.
David was talking about his use of Twitter/X and how he handled negative comments. His response:
“Sorry, I’m not going to read that tweet. I’d rather just listen to what Steve Jobs said. He probably has better advice than this random guy on Twitter.”
That completely sums up why he has his podcast. I’m not saying you should ignore what people around you have to say, particularly those that you trust, but when you can compare their insights against opposing thoughts from Steve Jobs or Warren Buffett, it’s a pretty easy decision on which side to pick.
