biographies of founders, pattern-matching across history / Founders

David Senra is the creator and sole host of Founders, an independent podcast in which he reads a biography of an entrepreneur and extracts actionable lessons per episode. He has studied hundreds of founders across centuries, building a loyal audience of operators and investors drawn to his close-reading method. His signature idea is that deep study of history's builders — Jobs, Rockefeller, Bezos, and many others — reveals repeating patterns that compound into a practical philosophy for building companies.
