Podcast Review: Founders - David Sentra Episode: 324 John D. Rockefeller (38 Letters Rockefeller Wrote To His Son)

Length: 1 Hour 46 Minutes
Outcome: Added to Library

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.
