Big thanks to @theconcordian for sitting down with us. 🙏
We talked about building NDR from the ground up, what’s next for the label, and the mission behind it all.
Thanks for riding with us. We’re just getting started.

Tobi: If you don't read books, you live a lifetime. If you read books, you live a thousand, right?
David: I'm going to interrupt you real quick because I took notes on this podcast six years ago. This is the first time I came across you and you said something that I absolutely love, and I had in my notebook, and I went to find when I took it. It was 2020, and you said, "Books are the closest thing you ever come to finding cheat codes for real life. You can access the entire learnings of someone else's career in a few hours."
Tobi: It tracks, doesn't it?
David: I dedicate my life to this, so of course, I'm going to agree with that.
Tobi: Absolutely. I really think we need to shout this more from the rooftops, right? The one weird trick seems to be just read books.
