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

I make myself easy to interface with. Why? Because I can point to a body of work. And one, I don't ask for anything, never. I'd never ask for a favor. I don't want to pick your brain. I don't want any money from you. I don't want anything. I just want to give, give, give. And my act of service is the podcast.

It's like, hey, I spent eight years and two months doing this, hundreds of thousands of hours or whatever the time frame is. And I've condensed it down into 400 hours that you can learn and hopefully be educated and entertained while you're doing other things, while you're on your plane, while you're walking your dog, while you're washing dishes, whatever it is.

And I make myself easy to interface with. It's like, oh, is this a serious person? Well, you've read fucking 400 biographies of entrepreneurs. That seems a little odd. That seems like somebody worth my time. And then the higher up you go, right? Learning from history is a form of leverage. That's another maxim from Charlie Munger. Why is Charlie Munger?

Charlie Munger is a multi-billionaire, could learn from anybody. Why is he still reading biographies? He could literally pay anybody in the world to tutor him. He's like, this is the best value of my time. And so anybody that builds a very valuable company sees a podcast like Founders or sees somebody like me is like, oh, talking to this guy, a good friend of mine said this the perfect way.

And he runs a multi-billion dollar fund. And he goes, talking to you is like talking to 50 of history's greatest entrepreneurs simultaneously. I made myself easy to interface with and I never asked for anything. I'm not like, oh, you know, can you do this? Can you introduce me to this person? Can you do me this favor? Can you help me raise a fund? Nothing.

So again, that line comes from a Francis Ford Coppola biography. So the way I would say this is like, I think... I have a very broad definition of entrepreneur, right? Entrepreneur is like somebody who has ideas and does them. And so I think filmmakers are entrepreneurs. I think certain athletes are entrepreneurs. I think podcasters are entrepreneurs.
