#362 Li Lu
What I learned from reading "Moving The Mountain: My life in China from the Cultural Revolution to Tiananmen Square" (a.co/d/f1QXdIR) by Li Lu.
Charlie Munger said that Li Lu was the only outsider he ever trusted with his money. Decades before Li Lu made Munger half a billion dollars, Li survived one of the most horrific childhoods imaginable:
Born into poverty, abandoned, hungry, beaten, surrounded by death. Persistent. Smart. Disciplined. Intensely curious. Obsessed with reading and learning. Determined to escape. This is a story you absolutely cannot miss.

#361 Estée Lauder
Просмотров 57614 дней назад
This is my third time reading this book. It gets better every time I read it. This episode is what I learned from rereading "Estée: A Success Story" (a.co/d/b9MThPy) by Estée Lauder. Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger said it was a crime that more business schools didn't study Henry Singleton. I think it's a crime that more entrepreneurs don't study Estée Lauder. She is one of the best founders ...
#360 Robert Kierlin: Founder of Fastenal
Просмотров 32414 дней назад
What I learned from reading "The Power of Fastenal People" (a.co/d/bo6SAbm) by Robert Kierlin. Since its founding in 1967 Fastenal has grown from a small fastener store in Winona, Minnesota, into a multibillion-dollar global organization. How did a small town “nuts and bolts” shop become one of the world's most dynamic growth companies? Whenever asked, company founder Bob Kierlin attributes Fas...

    I've always despised gambling until recently when I realised there is something in it to learn (not by gambling but by understanding the process). I've avoided it to the point that I would skip Ads or change channels when gambling was mentioned. Recently though, I figured how betting happens in ALL parts of life. And the underlying principles come from probability theory. It's funny how it mimics our origin. The tree that was the center of the heaven was also forbidden. By metaphor, if only Adam enjoyed its shade living carefree without indulging into the forbidden...

    Huge fan of your show David. I had seen your videos here on RUclips accidentally and instantly felt you were good (though you had very few subscribers and views) but I really found you when I saw you with Ben and David on their podcast. I love Acquired too. I wanted to something which both of your podcasts do. So I came up with an idea that comes pretty close and that also resonates deeply with me. So I am going to take your idea of reading a founder biography and making an episode on it and then use it for my own newsletter. I'll extend your idea to how great entrepreneurs, artists and athletes find an edge over their competition and succeed.. I have already begun writing about it on Medium. I'll soon start my newsletter. I also want it to have the depth that Ben and David bring to their podcast. Maybe turn it into a book one day. Possibilities are limitless. Thanks for the inspiration and keep up the good work.

    I haven't listened to this particular podcast yet, but I'm just here to say that your content is amazing. I'm from Brazil, I came here after a recommendation from Nick Bare and since then I've been listening to your podcast every day. Congratulations on your project and thank you for making all these biographies accessible, I'm starting to read some and this content is really changing my life. Another thing, my mind was blown when I saw your RUclips numbers, my mind was making a connection between quality and numbers... I'm sure it's just a matter of time for you to get great numbers here. And a quick question, I'd like to know why you don't do audiovisual, I think that would make your RUclips content go higher (if that's a goal), have a great day.
