Founders creator David Senra spent 40 minutes with John and Jordi today discussing his new podcast, David Senra, a conversation-based show he’s hosting with the greatest living founders and entrepreneurs. David dropped the first episode with Spotify’s Daniel Ek yesterday (watch it here); upcoming guests include Brad Jacobs (literally wrote the book on how to become a billionaire) and CAA co-founder Michael Ovitz.
Other topics today: why the hours-long conversation format is David’s unique advantage in podcasting, what Daniel Ek has taught him about being a founder, how his team created the new show’s bumper, the “TBPN of Europe” and the benefits of avoiding direct comparison, David’s experience interviewing Charlie Munger, the story of how he got in a standoff with Berkshire’s comms team, Jordi trying to acquire Founders circa 2023, the billionaire Brad Jacobs and interviewing him for David Senra, the disadvantages of being a ‘hobbyist’ podcaster, and more.
