b"My guest today is David Senra. David has studied history\\u2019s great founders and entrepreneurs in more depth than anyone I\\u2019ve ever met, and I\\u2019d wager more than anyone else alive. In this conversation, we cover many of the most common themes he\\u2019s discovered studying hundreds of entrepreneurs like Est\\xe9e Lauder, John Rockefeller, Enzo Ferrari, and Edwin Land. I found this to be one of the most energizing conversations I\\u2019ve had in a long time, and one I\\u2019ll return to often.\\n\\xa0\\nDavid\\u2019s work and extraordinary energy aligns so well with our mission at Colossus that we\\u2019re excited to partner with him.
