Coogan breaks down complex topics into simple terms, and he has a strong grasp of the underlying philosophical underpinnings of the major players in Silicon Valley that have led to spectacular growth and innovation, specifically, those of Peter Thiel, @naval, and @paulg.
Rather than just presenting boring, boilerplate bios of Elon Musk and Steve Jobs, Coogan also tells the stories of founders who are only beginning to show the true extent of their genius: @PalmerLuckey at @anduriltech and early NFT success story @beeple.
If you want to hear about startup success stories as it's happening rather than reading about it years after it's already played itself out (you can do the latter on Bloomberg!), John Coogan is a key source of valuable, timely information.
If you're not sure where to start, check out this recent video on @PalmerLuckey, the creator of the world's first successful VR gaming platform who sold it to @Facebook for billions, was fired by Facebook for his politics, and then founded unicorn defense company @anduriltech.
It's a veritable study on founder tenaciousness, as well as a good reminder that getting fired from an executive post isn't a death sentence as long as you have good ideas, the ability to execute, and strong backers like @foundersfund.
