Books Mentioned
“One of my favorite books when I was a real young kid was Where's Waldo? And I was like, that's not even reading. That's just it. They're trying to find the guy with the striped hat.”
“I read a thousand page biography on Enzo Ferrari, one of history's greatest obsessives. You put yourself in that story.”
“If there was an entrepreneur that could only read one of the books that I've read so far for founders, it would be this book called Against the Odds, an autobiography of James Dyson.”
“A perfect example of this is not only is it one of the craziest stories in entrepreneurship history, but it's also one of the most fun books to read. It's called The Fish That Ate the Whale.”
“There's a line in the Francis Ford Coppola biography that I read because I really love reading biographies of filmmakers.”
“I just reread his fantastic autobiography. Everybody knows about that, but rereading it over and over again, you see different things.”

“It's in this book that I have right here about Henry Clay Frick, Andrew Carnegie's partner and one of the greatest entrepreneurs to ever live.”
