   Founders podcast origin and mission: studying extreme winners

   1. DSDavid Senra0:02

      Nine years ago, I launched the Founders podcast. On Founders, I tell the stories of history's greatest entrepreneurs and extreme winners. This week, I'm launching a new podcast called David Senra. On this show, I sit down for conversations with the best living founders in the world.

       Nothing was gonna stop me from doing it.

    4. SPSpeaker1:12

       It's binary. There's no option. Success or death. [upbeat music]
