We study billionaires and this is episode 101 of the Investors Podcast.

Broadcasting from Bel Air, Maryland. This is the Investors Podcast.

They'll read the books and summarize the lessons. They'll test the waters and tell you what it's called.

They'll give you actionable investing strategies.

Your host Preston Pish and Sting Broderson.

Hey, how's everybody doing out there? This is Preston Pish and I'm your host for the Investors Podcast.

As usual, I'm a company by my co-host Sting Broderson, out in Seoul, Korea.

Today we read a book and this one was really a lot of fun for me.

I really enjoyed this book. I don't know if Sting, did you like this or?

Yeah, that was really interesting and a very different way of looking at leadership and success.

I don't think we covered this angle before Preston.

Yeah, so this was good. The name of the book, since we didn't tell you, the name of the book is Creativity Inc.

This was all about the founding of Pixar.

This was written by Ed Cappemoll, he was one of the key founders of Pixar.

He wrote this whole book and what he really captured in this book was a couple different things.

From a top level point of view, he tells his story of how he got involved in making 3D animation movies.

Then he really gets into this idea of how do you create a business that focuses on creativity

and doing things that have never been done before.

Then more importantly, how do you protect that business from becoming obsolete

as more competitors enter the market and time marches on?

How do you continue to keep that startup feel and that creative energy flowing within the business?

This was really interesting.
