This is one of my favorite podcasts (if not my favorite podcast) for lifelong learning and personal & professional enrichment. Thank you, David Senra, for this wonderful source of education and inspiration.

I have heard you an interview say that you hate feedback because you don’t care what other people think. This is ironic because the best entrepreneurs care a lot what their customers think. You do everything yourself because you want to be perfect. This means you only have your perspective to consider. No excellent entrepreneur does the same thing. Everyone listens. The best respond. 28% of your words are non-valuating, fluff, repetition, with constant discussions about what you’re gonna say next. You could make your product so much better if you would eliminate 25% of your wordiness, which borders on pablum.

David, I discovered the show two months ago and have devoured it. As some entrepreneurs have said of the show, it makes me feel less alone. 🙏 p.s. if Clarence Avant isn’t on your radar, check him out.

I listen to this podcast all the time, and no matter what I'm doing, I keep stopping to take notes.

Recently found this podcast & I’m hooked! Thank u David for your work & this podcast 🫶🏼

2x President, Billionaire Real Estate Mogul and Media Celebrity Donald J. Trump is one of history’s greatest founders. From building up a real estate company into a global luxury property empire, to developing one of the the most iconic brand names through television, and creating a political movement which propelled him to the presidency twice, Donald Trump exemplifies the animal spirit, talent, focus, ruthlessness, and determination characteristic of the founders and entrepreneurs covered so well in this podcast. That an episode attempting to uncover insights from the successes, failures, rise and falls that make-up Trump’s extraordinary life has not been produced casts doubt on David’s sincerity toward his mission to educate by example from history’s most important leaders, businessmen, builders, and entrepreneurs. The argument that Trump is still currently making history and therefore a proper study is not practical at the moment and therefore an episode should be done at a later date is a weak one given that over 70 years of research material is available for review and analysis. Plus the work already done (and often repeatedly done) on contemporary founders like Michael Dell, Jensen Huang, and Jeff Bezos in this podcast further suggests David’s outright avoidance of Trump. This leaves a considerable gap in his corpus of study, and will always be a noticeable oversight. Perhaps David’s avoidance of Trump is tactical, a deliberate choice to avoid any polarizing forces on his audience which could endanger the growth or reach and pull of his podcast. There is no perhaps, that is absolutely the reason why David avoids the topic of Trump. With this now being David’s bread and butter, there is no appetite to introduce the risk that years of attention and study have built up. That is morally weak, and exemplifies a cowardice that is unbecoming of an historian, biographer, and founder.

I have Sam to blame for a new addiction. 😂 all kidding side. David thank you for the great podcast and a new cache of amazing books to read. Keep up the great work and your sponsors are getting a deal whatever they are paying.

Stumbled upon the this show a few weeks ago, went back to show 1 and I can’t get enough. If you’re into entrepreneurship in anyway, this show is a Disney Land fast fast to learn about the greatest entrepreneurs in history

I started listening to this podcast in 2024 when my life was in turmoil. I found the perspective that I needed to reenter and refocus. I have worked my way back through the catalog and am all the way to episode 92. I recommend this podcast to everyone. There are applications outside of business that far outweigh those aspects of it.

This show is the reason I’ll have an episode on this show

David gets better with each episode & at a certain point he becomes the best book reviewer ever.

Highly recommend this for entrepreneurs and business folks!

Overall, I love this podcast. As an entrepreneur it is very motivating and sometimes I learn tangible tools to implement in my own approach. But…please feature some female founders. As a female it would be important to identify tools that give female founders an edge

This is one of my favorite new podcasts. David does a great job at sharing the stories of founders and it’s very informative and inspiring to listen to. Keep going!

Hi David, I really like your show and am in the process on track to listen to them all. However, I have a small comment on episode #31 I agree with the outcome and the overall gist of the episode. However, as a podcaster providing the keys ideas and themes of the books I prefer If your perspective is not biased. What I mean is yes what Denton did was horrible but I want to listen to is not too much bashing of Denton. Add his perspective too. I don’t have a stake.

Love the pod but the Ken Griffin episode was a tough listen. over half the episode was spent talking about other entrepreneurs. don't feel like i learned much about Griffin

Great idea to start this podcast. I’ve started reading books again thanks to this podcast! I’d love to hear an episode strictly on Nikola Tesla life story.

Greatest Business Podcast Ever Encountered

Best of the best. The amount of knowledge I have taken away from this podcast continues to influence my life for the better.

Great show but mainly focused on men

Did you know Ramp publishes this podcast? If not, you’ll find out very quickly upon listening, then about every couple of minutes throughout the episode. Instead of quality podcast content, the self promotion is distracting as he meanders through thoughts and then relates it to Ramp. Nothing against Ramp as a company or product, but tone back the marketing veiled in founder stories.

I love this podcast, so much information about so many interesting people.

David’s program opens your mind to a super-highway of knowledge, wisdom, inspiration, leadership and innovation - and reminds you that the on-ramp is available to anyone with hunger and curiosity.

Free MBA class daily. So so good!!

Best podcast I ever got encounter with, every episode is very interesting, informative, and educational!!!

I’m glad I found Founders podcast with David Senra. He read tons and tons of books on founders and successful entrepreneurs and condenses the key points and highlights down. I’m always learning something new and really loved episode #360 on Robert Kierlin: Founder of Fastenal. I’m am always discovering new people through this podcast, highly recommended!

I’m late to this party - but so glad I made it. Better late than never. So worth the time, about the highest praise I can give.

Besides reading my Bible first thing in the morning, I wake up every day looking forward to clicking on the Founders podcast to digest every bit of it. I love this podcast so much. I have recommended it to almost everybody I have spoken to. It is so informative. I like how David allows the book to speak for itself. I’d like his dedication to reading page to page and letting us in to the main themes and points across the book. I like how each book almost relates to the other because human nature does not change like David keep saying. This is my all-time favorite podcast and I wish David can continue to do this in perpetuity. I don’t know how to tell the whole world about this podcast, but it is the best use of my time and I can’t wait to read these books for myself. I started listening to the podcast late 2024 and I decided to go back to 2016 to listen to every single episode.I know cuss words are a daily part of speech, but my because household has a lot of young ears, I don’t play it as background noise. I wish I could just let this podcast blast daily with the ability to bleep out words . That’s how amazingly rich it is . Thank you for distilling and bringing wisdom to the world like this David

I love it, have been listening to every episode since I’ve discovered this podcast. Great source of inspiration and education. And book recommendations. 10/10 would recommend

Thank you, David, for generously providing us, free of charge, the highlighted and succinct versions of these monumental biographies brimming with invaluable insights. You are in no way slothful with your work! I feel like an outright thief.

This is my education

Besides The Bible Project, this is my favorite podcast!

When I don’t feel like listening to a book or listening to music, I love Davis highlights of the books he selects. Wow as he says, they are not full book summaries, it is fun to hear some stories that stood out along with their applicable lessons. I’m getting a great kick out of it for the past few weeks. Thanks David! Wishing you a great success.

I’ve been listening to Founders pod to check out books I want to read and get insights and a warmup or in some cases reviewing books I read and loved. I’ve found it very valuable and actionable and have been getting inspiration right from the first episode. I’ve implemented ideas he called out into my company before having read the book (which I will do as well). Highly recommend and hope he keeps creating.

As a founder myself, I’m thrilled to have discovered David Senra’s Founders podcast. The wealth of information and invaluable insights I’ve gained from this show has been instrumental in our pursuit of excellence with our company. Since stumbling on this gem three months ago, I’ve devoured over 30 episodes during my commute and workout sessions. Founders is an essential listen for entrepreneurs and anyone striving for personal growth and improvements.

Thank you for sharing the valuable experiences and wisdom of others, not for marketing books or products. Although reading is a precious gift, not everyone in real life has the opportunity to do so, for various reasons. Your willingness to summarize the essence of books and take the time to share them sincerely helps many people immensely. Through your sharing, we have the chance to learn from the experiences of people like Charlie Munger and Steve Jobs and many others, making them our friends and mentors. Thank you for your genuine sharing. I thank God for you!

I started listening to David’s podcast a few weeks ago and now I’m addicted. I’ve been devouring his past episodes like he devours the actual books. A great concept and really well done.

As a business owner, listening to this podcast is my most favorite way to spend my free time. Listen. Learn. Compound learning - as David continues to read more about the world’s greatest founders, he weaves, intertwines, and relates facts, philosophies, and successes from past episodes, books, other resources to create a powerful learning opportunity in each podcast.

I own my own business and this podcast, along with David’s commentary gives great insight into building and running a business by learning about how other successful businesses owners did it. Love the concept and the product.

I stumbled across the pod last Sunday, and I’ve gotten through almost 10 Eps since! I’ve already read plenty of biographies, but this was another sign to keep going(Phil K). I appreciate your dedication and I will shout out to the mountaintops to everyone who are even vaguely interested in Founders. Thanks, peace

Required listening for anyone building something.

I’ve listened to more than 40 podcasts to date. Great motivator for life and living!

David is a phenomenal and enthusiastic communicator!

Ever since I stumbled across Founders Podcast I feel as if have enrolled in a university course entitled Entrepreneurial History 101. I’m inspired by every single episode I listen to for I have ambitions of founding my own company as well. The information David shares is priceless and his authentic enthusiasm for what he’s doing is felt with every paragraph he reads. I’m forever endebted to this podcast and I hope to one day repay him in person for for diligent and noble service.

I’m a bookworm and I’m so glad I came across this podcast. If you are looking to expand your understanding of famous influential people this is a must listen ! David is a brilliant mind that uses his love of reading to enhance the understanding of many larger than life people and their biographies . Thank you for your great dedication to enriching the reader of these stories!

LOVE THE POD, but can you also feature some women please?????

Amazing podcast. So much wisdom and inspiring stories.

As a young entrepreneur starting a new chapter in life, this podcast and ‘How to take over the world’ are the most valuable podcasts I’ve ever listened to.

Great job. I listen to these while driving and cleaning carpets :) planning how I can myself change the world like these people

I’ve listened to 113 episodes so far and learned so many amazing lessons. Thank you for all the hard work you put in making this podcast. It feels like we’re just chatting together about our favorite ideas and ways that people have used those ideas well. Keep it up!
