#878 - David Senra - 15 Harsh Truths From History’s Greatest Founders

I actually have an interesting tangent I think you might enjoy. I read a book. So I was obsessed with Arnold Schwarzenegger. I love Arnold. And his autobiography that he wrote when he was 70 called Total Recall is excellent, right? But what's even better is he wrote an autobiography when he was 30 that people don't think of as an autobiography. It's called The Education of a Bodybuilder, right?

The first 110 pages of that book is Arnold telling his life story at 30 and then calling a shot saying, hey, the same principles I just did to give you the best bodybuilder. I'm going to get into movies. I'm going to build a business empire. He just literally calls a shot. And so I read everything and get my hands on. I watch everything with Arnold. And so I thought I read every book about Arnold.

Then I'm watching that Netflix documentary on him that came out. And they keep interviewing this, his girlfriend that Arnold lived with before he was famous from 21 to 26. And she goes, and it's like author of Arnold and me. I'm like, what? I was like, I ordered the book immediately. And then I read the book. And it's 300 pages of this woman, bless her heart, right?

I could have helped her in a minute. Her saying, I don't understand why this outlier of an outlier of an outlier won't just be a normal guy. Yeah. Oh, man. And so the main takeaway from that book was, especially for entrepreneurs, especially for driven people and, you know, people like Chris as well. And I can give you multiple examples in the books as well, like the founder of Four Seasons.

It's also, it's like for entrepreneurs, you either need a supportive spouse or no spouse at all. Because, like, there is no separation from our work and our lives. And it's not going to work if...

Like, because you're a fellow obsessive. And I was like... That's why I flew here. I was like, there's no way I'm recording remotely. I'm coming to, like, give you a hug and to sit down with you. But... You can't, like, imagine your wife, you know, your future wife saying, Chris, don't work so hard on the podcast. Like, oh, it doesn't matter.

Like, that doesn't have to be shot, you know, with a camera that's going to break Spotify's video player. Like, calm down. Like, you don't need to redo the barn. It's just Matthew McConaughey.
