I've also been enamored with David's podcast. So well done, and my favorites have been about Edwin Land and Estée Lauder.
What I've enjoyed most is how David cross-references his other podcasts like a deep-linked blog post, and with such enthusiasm. It makes you want to listen to everything else he gets excited about.
I’m listening to this Senra interview and the themes are intriguing, but I couldn’t help but think about the dangers of survivorship bias when analyzing the habits of ultra successful people. I think the most important point Senra makes is that bit about Warren Buffet talking about being in the right industry at the right time -- they are basically talking about good ole fashioned luck. Of course these other traits are important because they enable exploiting favorable moments, but luck itself is a crucial ingredient.
