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
