I'm going to show you how great I am.

This is a good guy's tower.

I just want to say from the bottom of me heart, I'd like to take this chance to apologize to absolutely nobody.

There are always aggressive and daring men, perhaps few in number, but impetuous and convincing.

They want to accomplish things and to move quickly, and they don't mind any amount of work or

responsibility. At all events, this was the side I represented.

Hello and welcome to How to Take Over the World.

This is Ben Wilson.

That is a quote from the subject of today's episode, John D. Rockefeller Sr.

And this is the end notes episode.

So I'm going to be talking about the rest of the story after his retirement, as well as some more of my notes and some things that I find interesting and think that you might find interesting.

I'll be talking a little bit more about his diet.

I'll talk about whether Rockefeller was a good person or a bad person, something I don't love to get into, but I think worth thinking about, kind of squaring his morality.

He's an extremely religious and pious moral person with his

buccaneering, domineering, aggressive and often borderline criminal behavior as a businessman.

I'll be talking about his foundation and some of his charitable acts and how that affected

the 20th and indeed the 21st centuries. Talk a little bit about his family life and dive a little bit more into his hobby

and just who he was, who Rockefeller was as a person.

As always, this is a free preview.

If you're not a paying subscriber, you'll get the first 10 minutes or so for free.

And then after that, if you would like to listen to all the end notes episodes go to
