INCEL, do you have any advice for me? I'm not considered handsome and I'm very shy.

[@natalieobrien3372]

Chris, please do a deep dive into the genetics stuff in the show cos that's really fascinating

[@TheTradDadShow]

Reminds me of this great story. A man wanted to change the world but couldn't so he focused on his country. He couldn't change his country so he focused on his city. He failed and turned toward his community, then his family, and ultimately himself. He said if he had to try again that he would start with himself then his family then his city, country, and change the world.

He should have read Dr. Jordan Peterson's "12 Rules for Life" first!

This is a great podcast episode, and I have never heard of him before hand. Thanks Chris for having such a diverse and unique group of people you bring on.

[@deejaymista]

Just beatiful to hear David speak on another platform. You can tell he is insanely passionate about learning from the lives of the greatest founders.

[@CarolCarolDoddDodd]

I am so grateful for the Internet to get to hear such a brilliant discussion by two guys, so enthusiastic about knowledge almost makes me want to cry. What a great time to be alive!!!!!!

[@cabotfamilydentistry871]

Had the honor of meeting David and attending his first Founders Only conference in Austin, TX, earlier this year. In addition to being an unbelievable student (and teacher), he’s one of the most passionate people I’ve ever met. Excellent interview!

[@DohertyT2319]

This is the best guest you’ve ever had “ what is the point of me spending studying and learning from them if I don’t change my behavior? That means my entire life was a waste and I refuse to waste my life.” Probably the best couple sentences I’ve heard in 2024.

[@mriegger]

Amazing guest. Love to hear how the connections tie together, Buffett, Munger, Lee Kuan Yew, Ben Franklin, Washington, Elon, etc. Just great

[@dollarbar1]

I was dreaming while listening to this and in my dream I ran to read biographies and was so excited about it. I'm awake now and am excited to read biographies.

[@PWizz91]

Founders Podcast is his podcast if people are wondering Absolutely brilliant for night time listening

[@sarasotauptoseattle]

Two of my favorite podcasters. Great episode. Thanks for sharing!

[@gojira2892]

Great episode. Definitely going to check out some episodes of the Founders Podcast now

[@mn4a15]

So far this podcast episode is amazing. It reminds me of the early 2000s when Tai Lopez burst on the scene talking about mentors.

[@tylerreinert7326]

Mmm. Elons promises and deliveries are two very different things. Testa is a vastly overvalued and hyped business. The electric semi for one has all sorts of issues, just seems like it’s focus is all over the place. Not to take away from the engineering team and the people who actually do the development.

[@rocketproductions1441]

You made a statement and then presented your own feelings as evidence

[@SuperKailis]

😂😂😂 Really, you criticise Elon? ELON MUSK ? Did the popcorn get stuck between your arse cheeks when you were sitting on the couch 😂 ? Maybe you want to tell your achievements?

Most rich people stay rich by spending like the poor and investing without stopping then most poor people stay poor by spending like the rich yet not investing like the rich but impressing them. People prefer to spend money on liabilities, Rather than investing in assets and be very profitable

Great content. Got a headache with the speed at which he speaks. I could only do 10 mins at a time.

[@anthonyamann2430]

The issue I have with something like Amazon isn't that Basos makes a ton of money. It's the discrepancy between what the people make that do the work and what the people at the top make. I'd like to see them bring everyone up as they go up. Basically, the ceo salary shouldn't me multiple hundreds of times more than the average employee. The ratio in 2022 was 344:1. I wouldn't be ok with living a lavish life knowing people that worked with me weren't making enough to really even get by.

[@johna7450]

Lucky for you, you won’t ever have that problem

[@e.vanderee]

I completely agree. I very much value his contributions, but making it insanely easy to order anything comes at a cost (the cost of the human labor) that is not adequately paid. Bezos made a great move to figure out how to disperse so many resources and product, but at a certain point you need to keep feeding the machine you create to ensure its stability for the company and the human capital involved.

[@davidkey4272]

You should start a company and report back

[@sethkodiak]

I really don’t understand this comparison of wealth. The only thing that should matter is the net benefit that someone brings to the world. If they make the world better, what does it matter how much more they’re paid for it than someone else? How does his comparative wealth hurt someone who’s benefiting from either his product or their employment?

Wow. The more the podcast goes on, the less and less faith I have in humanity or in smart people having smart perspectives. Wow

Elon Musk is a combination of Edison (Invention) and Henry Ford (the ability to scale to millions)

He speaks very quickly and trips over his words as a result. He should practice slowing down.

[@rocketproductions1441]

"I need it to have a peaceful life" is such a red flag 😂😂 I hope you find peace, but from my perspective, peace is a counter to the chaos of life, and to the degree that you put yourself out on a ledge and challenge yourself and throw your everything into that chaos.....is the degree at which you can lean into and enjoy peace when it comes! Too much peace all at once is called the Hole in prison, or Solitary Confinement! It's really easy to go there if you want to but I don't recommend it. I made alot of mistakes in my life and real life peace is terrifying!!
