If you've been listening to this show for a while, you've heard me advertise founders.
Well, now the host of Founders, David Senra, has a new show where he interviews some of the greatest living founders, and I mean the greats.
He's got long-form conversations with people like Daniel Ek of Spotify, Michael Dell, and Michael Ovitz of CAA.
They are very in-depth conversations that really strike at the heart of what motivates them, how they think, and what actions they have taken to become the greats in their industries.
It's another great podcast from David Senra.
