What other people are saying: “Without a doubt, the highest value-to-cost ratio I’ve taken advantage of in the last year is the Founders podcast premium feed. Tap into eons of knowledge and experiences, condensed into digestible portions, for roughly the cost of a takeout meal. Highly, highly recommend. “Uniquely outstanding. No fluff and all substance. David does an outstanding job summarizing these biographies and hones in on the elements that make his subjects so unique among entrepreneurs. I particularly enjoy that he focuses on both the founder’s positive and negative characteristics as a way of highlighting things to mimic and avoid.” “I just paid for my first premium podcast subscription for Founders podcast.

I cannot put into words how fantastic this podcast is. Just stop reading this and get the full access.” “Personally it’s one of my top 3 favorite podcasts. If you’re into business and startups and technology, this is for you. David covers good books and I’ve come to really appreciate his perspective. Can’t say enough good things.” “I quickly subscribed and it’s honestly been the best money I’ve spent all year. It has inspired me to read biographies. Highly recommend.” “This is the most inspirational and best business podcast out there. David has inspired me to focus on biographies rather than general business books. I’m addicted.” “Anyone interested in business must find the time to listen to each any every Founders podcast. A high return on in [...]
