#373: Breakfast with Brad Jacobs + How To Make A Few Billion Dollars

David Senra is the host of Founders, where he studies history's greatest entrepreneurs. This is what he learned from having breakfast with Brad Jacobs and reading his book How to Make a Few Billion Dollars.

Brad Jacobs is one of the most talented living entrepreneurs. Brad has started 8 different billion dollar or multi-billion dollar businesses. He has done over 500 acquisitions and has raised over $30 billion. He started his first company at 23, has over 40 years of experience as an entrepreneur, and is the most energetic person I have ever been around. Earlier this year he published his life story: How to Make a Few Billion Dollars. How to Make a Few Billion Dollars was one of my favorite books that I've read this year and the episode I made about the book was one of the most popular episodes of Founders.

I have listened to every episode released and look forward to every episode that comes out. The only criticism I would have is that after each podcast I usually want to buy the book because I am interested so my poor wallet suffers. ” — Gareth

#373: Breakfast with Brad Jacobs + How To Make A Few Billion Dollars

Introduction

So I want to tell you what I learned when I had the opportunity to have a two-hour breakfast with Brad Jacobs a few weeks ago. So Brad Jacobs is without a doubt one of the most talented living entrepreneurs. In case you aren't familiar with him, he has started eight different billion-dollar or multi-billion-dollar businesses.

He's done over 500 acquisitions. He's raised over $30 billion. Now that number's even higher. He started his first company at 23, and he is 68 years old today.

And he's the most energetic person I think I've ever been around. I don't think he has any plans to retire or to stop doing deals and to stop building companies or really any plans to slow down at all. So about a year ago, he published his life story, which is called How to Make a Few Billion Dollars. It was one of my favorite books that I've read in the last year.
