Huberman LabPlay episode
Show notes
I’m excited to share episode one of a new podcast that I’ve helped create and produce. This new podcast is called David Senra, and it’s hosted by David Senra.
For those of you not familiar with David Senra, he is an expert in all things related to greatness. He studies greatness and understands it, mostly in the domain of business but also among creatives, athletes and other world-class performers.
This first episode of the podcast is with Daniel Ek, the co-founder and CEO of Spotify. It's an absolutely spectacular conversation that I'm certain you'll enjoy.
