I'm Andrew Huberman, and I'm a professor of neurobiology and ophthalmology at Stanford School of Medicine. Today I'm excited to share the launch of a new podcast that I've helped create and produce. This new podcast is hosted by David Senra. For those of you not familiar with David Senra, he is the expert in all things greatness. He studies greatness and he understands it, mostly in the domain of business, but also creatives, athletes, and other world-class performers.

In this new show, David sits down with the best of the best business founders and extreme winners to understand their drive, their process of creation, how they overcome failures, their lessons in leadership, and other tools for achieving success. This first episode of the podcast is with Daniel Eck, the founder of Spotify. It's an absolutely spectacular conversation that I'm certain you'll enjoy. If you'd like to listen to future episodes of this new podcast, please be sure to subscribe to it. It's simply called David Senra, and links to it are in the show notes for this episode.

Again, the podcast is called David Senra. Episode 2 of David Senra will be with the founder of Dell Technologies, Michael Dell. So again, make sure to subscribe wherever you're listening now. And now episode one of David Senra with the founder of Spotify, Daniel Eck. So I want to consider this conversation like a continuation of the conversation we had last year in New York.
