Like, you couldn't have done NECO when you were 23, right?

But you have this great quote that I know is important to you, and it says, quality is never an accident.

Huberman Lab
DAVID SENRA: Daniel Ek, Spotify

It is always a result of intelligent effort.

DAVID SENRA: Daniel Ek, Spotify

We haven't talked about quality at all, even though...

Huberman Lab
DAVID SENRA: Daniel Ek, Spotify

So I do this all the time where I'll take notes on all the books that I read, and then I'll reread them.

And one thing I stumbled upon about this was

Huberman Lab
DAVID SENRA: Daniel Ek, Spotify

that sometimes the uh nick sleep has this great quote where he's like the best investors are not investors at all they're entrepreneurs never sold and me and you have talked about this the fact that there's a lot of people that have like sold way too early and they're like lauded and it's like what if you just didn't do that everything else you did like you if you just didn't sell uh

So Nick Sleep talks about this as like, and in other books was like, if Sam Walton didn't give away the stock in Walmart to his kids before it appreciated, you know, you have one of the largest fortunes by a single person ever for their ownership, the concentration of ownership in Walmart.

And Sam talks about this.

Huberman Lab
DAVID SENRA: Daniel Ek, Spotify

He's like, I didn't really do investing in anything but Walmart, right?

Huberman Lab
DAVID SENRA: Daniel Ek, Spotify

And it's like he wasn't waking up saying, I need to diversify my portfolio.

Huberman Lab
DAVID SENRA: Daniel Ek, Spotify

I need to worry about capital allocation.

Huberman Lab
DAVID SENRA: Daniel Ek, Spotify

He's just like, I believe in what I'm doing.

Huberman Lab
DAVID SENRA: Daniel Ek, Spotify
