14 Patterns Behind the World’s Greatest Minds - David Senra - #1126

0:00I'm a lazy workaholic.

0:01I have to force myself to do it.

0:03My demeanor would be to do nothing.

0:06What's that mean?

0:06Okay, this was shocking.

0:08So I've been a massive fan of Rick Rubin for probably decades.

0:12I grew up listening to rap.

0:14He founded one of the most important hip-hop record labels in his dorm room when he was like 18 or 19.

0:20I think he's 63 now, and he's still making incredible music.

0:23So I've done a bunch of episodes about him for going back like five, six years ago, for going back five, six years on my other podcast, Founders, right?

0:31So I read biographies about him.

0:32I read his book, Creative Act.

0:33Have you read Creative Act?

0:34Yes.

0:35Okay.

0:36And so then I had the opportunity to meet him and then record an episode with him.

0:40And I thought, you know, I've read his biography over and over again.

0:42I've watched every interview with him.

0:44I thought I kind of knew what to expect.

0:46And that was when he said, I'm a lazy workaholic.

0:50You can even watch the clip on the show where it's like, you're lying to me, Rick.

0:53Like, what are you talking about?

0:55Because out of anybody in the world that gets paid to be themselves, you would say like Rick Rubin's got to be towards the top of that list, right?
