  • Wow

    I was just scrolling through the list of episodes and were shocked by the fact that they’re all men! Please broaden your horizons and keep up with the times we’re living in. As a business owner and highly successful and dedicated career woman myself this is not only extremely disappointing but completely unacceptable. Your interviews and episodes are very capturing and well researched but shouldn’t be reduced to a male dominated narrative.

  • The Personal Side of Founders

    Easily one of the most inspiring podcasts ever. David does a great job of setting the stage as he does with “Founders” only here you get to now hear directly from the source with a focus on more of the interpersonal and “behind closed doors” side of business. My go to every morning since finding it.

  • The highest-signal podcast, full stop

    The surface looks different. The fundamentals don’t.

    That’s what David Senra has been showing us, episode after episode. Read enough founder biographies and you start seeing it everywhere — the obsessive focus, the standards no one else can stomach, the decades of innovating that build something durable.

    David has done the reading so you don’t have to, and what he pulls out is the stuff that actually transfers.

    Thank you, David. This is a real education, delivered by someone who clearly love... more

  • THANK YOU

    I used to think of founders as a podcast. Now I see it for what it is, the ultimate guide to entrepreneurship, creativity, and life. Thank you david, you’ve made me unmeasurablely wiser and more equipped to chase my wildest dreams. David Senra is just an extension of this but even more poignant. I saw some reviews saying you may talk to much but I think they can’t see that you are in this class of champions and how much you are adding. I honestly really enjoy learning more about your perspective... more

  • About as valuable as podcast get!!!

    As a long time listener of founders, I was pretty sure that I would enjoy this podcast - but I don’t just enjoy it… I absolutely love it. David has an ability to draw out the most valuable insights - and is probably the most willing person that I know in drilling down on the smallest aspects that can actually have the biggest impact. Throughly recommend

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Simple Genius of Rick Rubin
Q: How do you approach collaboration with artists who have different visions, like LL Cool J vs. The Strokes or Johnny Cash?
I focus on the essence of the artist, use ruthless editing to strip down to what really works for them, and adapt the process to fit their unique vision while staying true to the core aesthetic.
The Simple Genius of Rick Rubin
Q: What was the first example you used to show the amount of work that goes into making great art?
The early hip-hop records and LL Cool J's early productions showed that true impact came from stripped-down, human performance rather than over-polished, professional attempts; keeping it honest was essential.
Dana White, UFC
Q: How did you turn UFC around after the initial purchase?
White explains that they rebuilt from the ground up: buying the company, wiping out failing production teams, bringing in a new crew, and focusing on delivering the fights fans wanted to see, while leveraging live events and later media deals to grow revenue.
Adam Foroughi, AppLovin
Q: How did you respond to the 2021 IPO and the subsequent 2022 stock decline?
We leaned into a strong, aspirational plan, communicated a path to growth (including a vision of a trillion-dollar company), focused on retaining talent, and implemented compensation adjustments to align incentives with volatility, while maintaining lean teams of A players to drive future scale.
Adam Foroughi, AppLovin
Q: Why did you decide to pursue vertical integration with gaming studios and then pivot away from owning them?
Owning studios gave us the data and insight to improve Axon, but over time it became a distraction and slower to scale; we ultimately sold the studios to simplify the business and double down on the advertising platform that was powering the growth.
