#406 Christian von Koenigsegg

The first person to tell me about Christian von Kona side was actually Daniel Eck, who's the founder of Spotify. And Daniel was kind enough to be the first guest on my new show. And after we got done recording the conversation that we published a few months later, Daniel was telling me about a bunch of founders that he thought that I would like, and one of them was Christian von Koniseg. Koniseg builds some of the most expensive and highest performing cars in the world. And then a few months after that conversation, somebody on X suggested I should do an episode on ConeSeg and then they sent me a message with a bunch of source materials, including like a documentary and a bunch of interviews that Christian has done. And almost immediately, as soon as I started hearing

Christian describe his products, how he thinks about building his business. I knew I had to make an episode on him. So then I went and searched and I added about another dozen interviews and videos and essentially just consumed, spent a week consuming Almost everything I could find on him and how he built his company. And then I spent the last few days organizing all my notes into a list of about a hundred ideas that I think are very interesting and that jumped out to me. while I was studying Christian Bonkonseck. So the first thing to know is that Conoseg Automotive, it's a company founded by a man whose desire to build the world's best sports cars.

Reaches all the way back to his childhood. He's been running his company for over thirty years, and this is something that he's been repeating for at least a decade and a half. He says for as long as I can remember. I've been totally fascinated by cars. When I was five I went to the movies with my father and saw a Norwegian stop motion movie.
