the @HTTOTW podcast talks about this.

Just finished this episode and came to the realization that the best thing a curious person can do is listen to other curious people. Now I have 10+ rabbit holes to get into, from AI articles, to books, and to more founders obviously. @FoundersPodcast X @HTTOTW 🫡

I feel so fortunate to live in a time where learning about any topic, or about any historical figure, is so accessible. The more difficult step, is nailing down what it is you want to learn. @HTTOTW Loved the Edison episode.

Both life and entrepreneurship became a lot more fun once I had this realization (and more shots at the bat than I could count). @HTTOTW

🚨🚨🚨NEW PREMIUM EPISODE🚨🚨🚨 The Crowd Whisperer: The Psychologist Who Gave Hitler His Playbook (Gustave Le Bon)

Caesar was one of history's greatest dealmakers. Here's how: Caesar, as a consul, forms a secret strategic alliance with Crassus and Pompey, referred to now as the first triumvirate. Crassus, the richest man in Rome, represents the entrepreneurial class of Rome. Basically, Elon Musk's role in Trump's 2024 elections. Pompey is the military guy. He’s Rome’s most impressive and renowned conqueror. And Caesar has the people. He’s glamorous, famous, and popular with the common people. So with these three factions behind him, Caesar is basically unstoppable. How did he convince them? He keeps things simple and straightforward. There was one thing Crassus really wanted, one thing Pompey really wanted, and he could make it happen if they stuck together and made him consul. It reminds me of the Bill Gates quote about Steve Jobs negotiating with him when he had just come back to Apple. Here is what he said: “It was classic. I’d been negotiating this deal with [Gil] Amelio, and Gil wanted six things, most of which were not important. Gil was complicated, and I’d be calling him on the phone, faxing him stuff over the holidays. And then when Steve comes in, he looks at the deal and says, ‘Here are the two things I want, and here’s what you clearly want from us.’ And we had that deal done very quickly.”

Great innovators are rarely great managers. What made Rockefeller so special is he was both.

Finished all @FoundersPodcast episodes in 2025—dreaded waiting weeks for new ones on my commute. Discovered these gems: @sourceryy (investing/tech breakdowns), @BecomingMain (fiction character insights), @HTTOTW (leadership histories).
