David Senra told me he’s unmanageable. Despite that, he’s managed to build a wildly profitable podcast business and has turned down every offer to buy it.
Founders, Senra’s original podcast, launched in September 2016. He’s always run it alone—no full-time employees, two subcontractors handling clips and thumbnails—and turned it into a business generating millions of dollars a year in profit. He laughed dryly when he recalled turning down acquisition offers valuing the show upward of $50 million. “Who knows what people would offer today?” he mused.
