Jay Z's Autobiography

Transcribed with NVIDIA Parakeet · Timestamps stay in sync with the live audio

I made this episode about two years ago and I wanted to repost it in case you missed it the first time because it's one of my favorite episodes that I've ever made. And because I'm currently working. on another new episode that's gonna be about Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant. And there's actually a great Michael Jordan story in this episode about when G Jay-Z uh had dinner with Michael. There's also a reference to my daily practice, something else I learned from Both Jay Z and Michael Jordan.

But there's a reference in this episode about my daily practice of reading and rereading my notes and highlights in what I call this gigantic searchable database. You'll hear it about like 11. twelve minutes into this episode. But I reference this gigantic searchable database of all my notes and highlights, the fact that they're in this app called ReadWise. And I actually didn't know it at the time I made this episode, but

Two years later I would partner with Readwise to build a version where you you can actually see exactly what I see. So you can get access to all my notes and highlights. This gigantic searchable database on the history of entrepreneurship by signing up for Founders Notes. That's founders with an S. foundersnotes.com. You can sign up going by going to founders notes.com.

That is the first couple of minutes. The rest is $1.49.
