Steve Jobs and His Heroes.
Apple was founded 45 years ago today.
And when I read that, I had the idea to do just a quick little episode for you that highlights the almost 40 different episodes of founders that I've done on Steve Jobs are the people that he was influenced by or looked up to.
And the reason I wanted to do that is because I think Steve Jobs is one of the best illustrations of why founders podcasts exist.
And that's because Steve, like every single other of history's greatest entrepreneurs, all spent an excessive amount of time studying from and learning from the great people that came before them, and then use the ideas that they learn through that practice of study and reading to use those ideas in the company that they wind up building.
And that is exactly why founders exist.
If you listen to founders, you are able to download into your brain the very best ideas of all of history's greatest entrepreneurs.
And there are worse mistakes that you can avoid.
And so the fact that you're hearing this, that means you're not currently on the misfit feed.
And that means you're only hearing partial episodes of founders.
You just hear about the first 30 minutes of some of the episodes that I've done.
In order to access full episodes, you'll need to sign up by tapping the link that's in the show notes of your podcast player, or we're going to founderspodcast.com.
and once you do that, you get immediate access to 247 full length episodes that are available nowhere else.
And I add more episodes every week.
Every episode is ad free and it takes less than 29 seconds to set up.
And so what I'm going to do right now is I'm going to go through about, I think there's like 37 episodes on this list that are related to either Steve Jobs himself or people he studied.
I will leave all of the episode title and episode numbers in the show notes.
So if you sign up, you can start with these episodes.
It gives you like a fantastic blueprint or fantastic roadmap to start going through this extensive catalog back catalog of founders, because I've spent four years, about 6000 hours, and I've read over 100,000 pages.
So it's just so I can document and search for the very best ideas in the history of entrepreneurship.
I've distilled what I learned down to roughly about 400 hours.
