The episode you're about to hear is about obsession. It takes

Heruki Miracami over 30 years to find his two

obsessions, which is writing novels and running. But once he finds them and

dedicates his life to them, he discovers a lot of useful ideas that you and I can use in our work and

that is what his autobiography that is what this book is about. One of my

obsessions has been making this podcast so I can collect and distill the knowledge of

history's greatest entrepreneurs and I made a tool to make sure that I never

forget these lessons and I can pull them up on demand when I need them. That tool is Founders Notes and you can now get access to the same

tool that I use. Founders Notes lets you tap into the collective knowledge of history's

greatest entrepreneurs on demand when you need them.

Since 2018, I've been putting all of my notes and highlights for all the books that I've read for

the podcast into this giant searchable database that you can now use.

So anytime you hear me, you're going to hear me reference a bunch of past founders on this episode

and on all the episodes I make for founders.

So when I talk about an idea from Jeff Bazaos or Walt

is near Sam Walton or Charlie Munger or Warren Buffett or J Paul Getty or

Gordon Moore and Bob Noise that ability to pull their thoughts and ideas that's just

me searching through founders notes and pulling up their ideas.

This is really important to get across.

When you subscribe to Founders Notes, what you see in Founders Notes, that's the tool I use.

I don't have a different version.
