Full Episode
I found this guy tweeted something a couple days ago whenever it was hilarious. He goes, most people's alarm clock is David Goggins telling them to wake up and get after it. My alarm clock is David Senra yelling at me, telling me to be like Edwin Land. It's like, all right, repetition works.
Who got the truth? Is it you, is it you, is it you? Who got the truth now? Is it you, is it you, is it you? Sit me down, say it straight. Another story on the way.
David Rosenthal a video format on YouTube that we started playing with last year. Our guest today is David Senra of the Founders Podcast. David is quite possibly the only person we know who is more obsessed than us with business history and the lessons that great founders teach us. David, David Senra, that is, has read hundreds of founder biographies and done deep episodes on them all.
I don't know that I'm at hundreds yet as me, David, but I'm definitely in dozens. I aspire to be at hundreds. But David Senra is just one of our closest podcaster friends and friends period out there. His show is awesome. Here on this episode, we had him out to my living room here in San Francisco, and we had just a
Awesome, really fun, multi-multi-hour conversation, just like the ones that he and I have scheduled every month on Zoom when the mics are off. And it was super organic, super unstructured. We covered a ton of ground, including that I think two nights before we recorded that David was just coming up from LA where he had dinner with Charlie Munger.
And so we spent a lot of time talking about that, Charlie's influence on David, his and Warren's influence on all three of us, a bunch of thoughts on advice generally. And as you can imagine, David just sprinkled dozens and dozens of historical examples and founder stories throughout the episode.
It is crazy. Every time someone's making a point, he'll dive in. This is just like that thing Edwin Land said that one time. Yeah. Or David Ogilvie or Coco Chanel or who have you. David is definitely close with the eminent dead. I will say after editing this episode, I had one enormous takeaway. David Senra is really, really into podcasting.
