Show Notes
🤬 First a warning: This podcast includes a few swear words. It’s impossible — or at least not as fun — to talk about Deadwood without them. It is what it is. 🤬
The main topic is Deadwood (HBO, 2004-2006) and what can be learned from the show, but of course, this being David & I, we also talk about:
* founders,
* entrepreneurs,
* obsessive creators,
* the power of focus,
* the power of strategy,
* how civilization emerges,
* intelligence as a currency,
* violence as humanity’s fatal flaw,
* sanitized origin stories,
* addiction & abuse,
* Andrew Carnegie,
* Henry J. Kaiser,
* Henry Singleton,
* David Ogilvy,
* Walt Disney,
* Warren Buffett,
* planting seeds,
* optionality from future technology,
* the lessons of history about violence and corruption,
* and all kinds of other interesting things.
We also talk about Tombstone (1993), which I hadn’t seen at the time, but watched soon after we recorded. I shared some thoughts on it here in edition #338.
