This episode covers the unique way Larry Ellison thinks.

I spent over 40 hours reading (and rereading) this book on Ellison written by Matthew Symonds (amzn.to/49zqoes). ⁠ (amzn.to/4owIPVB)

I then spent several days editing down 40 pages of notes into a one-hour nonstop stream of Larry Ellison's ideas.
