#401 How Bill Gates Works
This episode is about Bill Gates' obsessive drive and hardcore work ethic. Bill Gates had the rarest entrepreneurial talent—the ability to see the leverage point in a new industry, seize it with relentless intensity, and *will* Microsoft into one of the most successful companies in human history.
To make this episode I read Bill's new autobiography, Source Code: My Beginnings, and pulled ideas and notes from 4 more books about his singular career:
Hard Drive: Bill Gates and the Making of the Microsoft Empire
Overdrive: Bill Gates and the Race to Control Cyberspace
Idea Man: A Memoir by the Cofounder of Microsoft
In the Company of Giants: Candid Conversations With the Visionaries of the Digital World
