I was listening to another podcast a couple of weeks ago and David Sentra was the guest. I learned that he had a podcast where he reviewed biographies and autobiographies. I made a note to go back and listen to his podcast.
Today I was scrolling through his library of recorded episodes and decided to listen to episode #324. From scrolling it looked like there was a heavy emphasis on people in business like Rockefeller, Bezos, Steve Jobs. There were also episodes about Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant, directors like Spielberg or George Lucas, and historians like Will Durant.
The thought of this podcast appealed to me. In the podcast where I was introduced to Sentra and again in this podcast he states “you can find a million dollar idea in a $30 book.” Reading the autobiography of a successful person can give you valuable knowledge that you can apply to your life.
I picked the episode that I did because I wanted to see what insights Rockefeller would pass on to his son. Sentra took snippets from the letters and painted a picture of the type of person that Rockefeller was. The vast majority of it focused on business endeavors but he was also trying to teach his son life lessons in the letters. His perspectives on luck and failure were worth the listen.
Overall I found this to be a well done podcast and I will be adding it to my library. I look forward to listening about other figures that I am not more familiar with.
Thomas Aquinas is credited as one of the greatest proponents of natural law. During his time in Cologne he was taught by Albertus Magnus. Magnus used the teachings of Aristotle in his mentorship of Thomas Aquinas.
Samuel Adams believed in American Independence from Great Britain. He is one of the most well know Son's of Liberty. On August 1, 1776 he gave a speech to the Continental Congress in Philadelphia.
The Mount of Forty Springs, Zagros Mountains, Iran Saturday 11:30 PM
By the dim light of torches seven hooded figures made their ascent up the nearly invisible path. Thirty minutes had passed since they began hiking off the established trail. A person who had never traveled this path would not have been able to find it.
These men were not making their first journey. Each had traveled this path as part of a group and individually. Even without the torches each man would find the destination without difficulty. Some things could never be forgotten.
In silence they made their final steps. Amidst the juniper and oak trees stood a single cedar tree. They had arrived at their destination. Concealed amidst the undergrowth was a small cave. Sliding a large bolder away from the back of the cave revealed a secret stairwell.
The men could not be completely at ease yet, but the most physically demanding portion of their journey was over. From this point things would be more psychologically challenging and each man would handle those struggles...
