My favorite podcast. Guy Raz is interviewing Founders who made it and get them to tell their stories ‘How they built this’. A couple of commonalities emerge from listening to different Founders:
- Success doesn’t came overnight
- It’s never a one-man show
- They have an idea they strongly believe in
- You need to leave your comfort zone
- They were not in for the money (or say to get rich)
- They launched with something that hardly qualifies as prototype
- Building a company is difficult
Nothing of this is new but more like common wisdom, however, its still interesting to identify a set of patterns by listening to the stories of successful Founders.
