Becoming a Great Man, and Why There's More to Life than Selling Chicken Fingers with Ben Wilson
Update: 2025-10-01
Description
In this podcast, Will and Ben Wilson of the fantastic "How to Take Over the World" podcast discuss power, entrepreneurialism, and the idea of doing something greater in life than just acquisitiveness for its own sake. They discuss the traits and virtues of great men, the tradeoffs between being a man out of time and one who harnesses his time, and why many feel a natural draw the honesty of aristocracy. They also discuss how Washington molded himself into a great man, living a life of excitement, and the importance of selective breeding and a grand vision.
As a side note, both love David Senra and his podcast Founders, which comes up in this conversation.
