Daniel Ek

I went to Hare Krishna centers.

I went to, you know...

Jewish centers, you know, mosques.

I went to everything.

And I try to learn as much as possible because I truly believe not enough people are like... I've always been surprised why more people aren't interested in where we come from and what the purpose is of life.

For me, those are sort of some of the greatest questions that I, like many others, don't have any idea, obviously, what will happen.

But I think they're really important.

So I've always been a searcher.

And I think that actually sort of like led me to sort of also be a searcher about myself too and trying to find sort of who I am.

But the older I've gotten and the more and more things have started clicking about myself and the more unapologetic I am about... And so your inner monologue gets...

Less harsh?

Yeah.

Because like, you know, not only do you stand out quite a lot as an entrepreneur, and my interests were widely different than my social circuit growing up and all these things.

But the second thing is I'm an introvert.

So, you know, that doesn't help.

So most people like being around a lot of people, and they get energy from it.

I didn't.

So that obviously naturally gets you to question yourself.

And

You know, against many others as an entrepreneur, I'm not the most eloquent person.
