#32 J.K. Rowling: The Benefits of Failure

Épisode 37

lundi 1 juin 2026 • Durée 34:31

What I learned from Very Good Lives by J.K. Rowling

This powerful book is based on her 2008 Harvard commencement address. J.K. Rowling is best known as the author of the Harry Potter series, wrote one of the most widely read book series in history after crawling out of rock bottom. This included a failed marriage, unemployment, and near poverty as a single mother. In this speech turned book, she shares two lessons she wishes she had known at graduation: the hidden benefits of failure, and the crucial importance of imagination.

#31 How Walt Disney Thought (Part 2)

Épisode 36

mercredi 22 avril 2026 • Durée 43:21

What I learned from The Official Walt Disney Quote Book

During his long career, Walt Disney frequently commented on his philosophies of life, his ideas, his dreams, and his hopes for a better world. This book is a collection of those quotations attributed to Walt.

Walt once said, “In order to make good in your chosen task, it’s important to have someone you want to do it for. The greatest moments in life are not concerned with selfish achievements but rather with the things we do for the people we love and esteem, and whose respect we need.”

#30 The Philosophy of Walt Disney (Part 1)

Épisode 35

lundi 6 avril 2026 • Durée 46:01

What I learned from The Official Walt Disney Quote Book

Drawn from his own words, this is a deep exploration of how Disney actually thought about work, failure, money, leadership, and what it takes to build something that lasts.

This is more than a collection of quotes. It’s a blueprint about building, about adversity, and about pursuing work that matters.

If you want to understand how to create something timeless, this is how Walt Disney thought.

Uncommon Moments: The Art of Concentration

Épisode 34

dimanche 1 mars 2026 • Durée 10:47

Uncommon Moments #3 focuses on this quote... “Do not many of us who fail to achieve big things … fail because we lack concentration—the art of concentrating the mind on the thing to be done at the proper time and to the exclusion of everything else?”- John D. Rockefeller

#29 Why We Read

Épisode 33

lundi 26 janvier 2026 • Durée 33:02

What I learned from The Reading Life: The Joy of Seeing New Worlds Through Others' Eyes by C.S. Lewis

Most conversations about reading today are obsessed with speed, volume, and efficiency. C.S. Lewis thought this completely missed the point.

For him, reading was not about finishing books but about escaping the narrowness of a single life. It was learning to see through other eyes, feel with other hearts, and inhabit other centuries without losing yourself.

In this episode, we explore Lewis’s quietly radical vision of reading: why great books enlarge the mind, why rereading matters, why some stories change us forever, and why the deepest purpose of books is not information but transformation.

To read well, Lewis believed, is to become a thousand men, and return more fully yourself.

David Senra, The Inspiration Behind A Year of Excellence

Épisode 32

mercredi 14 janvier 2026 • Durée 14:50

A year ago, Uncommon Excellence didn’t exist. What follows is a thank-you to the person most responsible for its existence: David Senra, host of The Founders Podcast.

David has dedicated years to reading hundreds of biographies of history’s greatest founders, distilling timeless lessons on obsession, craft, and long-term thinking.

I discovered Founders in April of 2024, starting with the episode on Walt Disney. What followed was deep immersion and obsession: hundreds of hours spent listening, re-listening, taking notes, and buying the books he studies. Founders didn’t just inspire me; it changed how I approach learning. I didn’t simply enjoy it; I learned to respect it.

That influence led directly to the creation of this podcast, carrying the same spirit forward for younger builders and deeply curious minds. This work exists downstream of Founders.

David, when you listen to this episode, thank you for reading when no one was watching.

#27 The Million Dollar Hack So Good It Might Break Your Business

Épisode 29

lundi 24 novembre 2025 • Durée 37:20

What I learned from Oversubscribed, Key Person of Influence, Entrepreneur Revolution, and 24 Assets by Daniel Priestley

There’s a business hack so powerful most founders never use it — not because it doesn’t work, but because it works too well.

In this episode, we break down a simple but dangerous idea that the world’s best creators, entrepreneurs, and brands quietly rely on to create overwhelming demand. When you understand this concept, it changes how you build, how you launch, and how you think about value forever.

We’ll explore:

Why some brands have people lining up for what they offer

How familiarity and anticipation are engineered

The four ways to differentiate yourself in a crowded world

And the mindset shifts Daniel Priestley teaches that can transform your entrepreneurial instinct

If you’re building anything — a podcast, a business, a personal brand — this episode gives you a mental model that can create massive traction… fast.

Just be careful. It’s the kind of insight that can expose every weakness in your system if you’re not ready.

#26 The Hidden Cost of Power: Zemurray’s Final Chapter (Pt. 2)

Épisode 28

lundi 3 novembre 2025 • Durée 40:04

What I learned from The Fish That Ate the Whale: The Life and Times of America's Banana King

Sam Zemurray’s story isn’t just about building an empire—it’s about what happens when power demands a price. This episode pulls back the curtain on the unseen battles, the sacrifices made in silence, and the reputation wars that defined the final act of the Banana King’s life. It’s a story about ambition’s cost and the fragile line between legacy and infamy.

Power isn’t just about what you build—it’s about what you’re willing to risk to keep it. But some things—family, integrity, true legacy—are too important to sacrifice, no matter the stakes. As we unpack Zemurray’s last moves, we confront the question every founder faces: When the cost of power becomes personal, how do you decide what’s worth holding onto?
