  • Every founder should be listening

    This is hands down the best podcast I’ve ever listened to. If you’re a founder, you’ve found the place to be. Our company is in its early days and this always gives me a little bit of extra motivation when needed. Every guest is top tier and we all get to listen, learn, and take ideas away for free. I aspire to be on this podcast one day. Thanks for all your hard work David & team.

  • He interviews dudes, that’s it.

    Oh wait sorry, he interviewed 1 woman once ever - Ivanka Trump.

    Agree with other reviewers who say he both interrupts and talks more than any other podcast host I’ve heard.

  • I love Founders, David hasn't hit his stride as an interviewer.

    David's podcast Founders has been an awesome source of condensed knowledge. In the past, he has discussed how he likes the idea of "becoming friends with the eminent dead." He has often times mentioned how he does not want to read about those who are still living. I believe this is due to the fact that their stories are not fully written, which I totally agree. It is interesting that as he has gained more influence, that he has now become associated with current founders and other prominent indi... more

  • Too Self Absorbed

    The pro of this show is he gets interesting guests. The cons are many. He never asks any even slightly challenging questions. Its 2 hours of “why are you so great?” in various forms. He constantly interrupts guests with his own stories. He seems trying to prove how connected he is by name dropping every other famous person he’s talked to. My advice: Let the interview breathe. Its not about you. Try to push the guests thinking in interesting ways. There is potential here.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Competition, Intensity & Building a $115 Billion Global Bank | Nik Storonsky, Revolut
Q: Can you talk about what happened and how you learned this lesson?
Storonsky explains that Revolut initially chose quicker e-money and payment licenses rather than pursuing a banking license. After the company acquired millions of customers, regulators viewed it as riskier, and obtaining a UK banking license took nearly five years. He says a banking license is essential for building a trusted, large-scale bank.
Competition, Intensity & Building a $115 Billion Global Bank | Nik Storonsky, Revolut
Q: Can you explain, like, how you view competition and, like, what you're trying to do in the world?
Storonsky says he has always been intensely competitive and wants to be number one in the businesses he chooses. For Revolut, that means building a global bank that offers better services at lower prices across 100 countries.
Creating Muse: The Fastest-Growing AI Product Since ChatGPT | Alexandr Wang, Meta
Q: How did you know it was ready to be released?
Wang says the team set launch thresholds for more than 100 model behaviors, waited for a checkpoint to pass every threshold, and then confirmed through hands-on use that it outperformed earlier versions.
Creating Muse: The Fastest-Growing AI Product Since ChatGPT | Alexandr Wang, Meta
Q: Why were you able to do that and the developers of OpenClaw were not?
Wang credits Muse's progress to extensive iteration and the painstaking work of improving the combined model and product experience, while expressing respect for OpenClaw's creator and contributors.
Managing $525 Billion by Rethinking Wealth Management | Kurt MacAlpine, Corient
Q: So if you just want to lay out, you had a disruptive idea, what is that disruptive idea?
MacAlpine says Corient was designed as a professional services partnership that serves clients rather than advisors. Its unified compensation plan and P&L are intended to eliminate silos and enable teams to share expertise and provide more comprehensive services.
