Patrick O’Shaughnessy - Creating on Principle - [Invest Like the Best, EP.455]
This week is a special episode. Only David Senra could get me to be on the other side of the mic. Because I don’t plan on being interviewed often, I wanted to share this conversation, which I so enjoyed, with our audience. It went in a very different direction than I expected. We barely talk about investing or interviewing. Instead, we talk about finding an organizing principle for life, undiscovered talent, and the idea that “the reward for good work is more work.” We also discuss the principles that guide how I think about building Invest Like the Best, Colossus, and Positive Sum. This conversation was originally recorded and released on David Senra, and I wanted to share on the Invest Like The Best feed as well. Please go follow what he’s doing, there’s no one like David. Enjoy! For the
Introduction
PatrickThis week we have an unusual episode, because I am on the other side of the mic, on my friend David Senra’s new show called David Senra, in which he interviews me. I’ve chosen for the last five or six years to never be interviewed, mostly because I love doing what I do so much; shining a light on an investor, a founder, a thinker of some type, who I can learn from.
But after we did the show, I thought it would be a neat and rare opportunity to share with you all how I think about a lot of things, as we build Invest Like the Best, Colossus, and Positive Sum. I really hope you enjoy this little bit different and special episode with David Senra, and be sure to go check out his new show, where he is interviewing some of the greatest living thinkers, builders, entrepreneurs in the world, called David Senra. Make sure you go subscribe to that as well, and enjoy the interview.

Robosen Soundwave review: A childhood dream made real
There's just something magical about a robot that can convert into a car, tank or plane. It seems that Hollywood agrees as there are several major franchises based around that concept. As someone who grew up in the 80s and 90s, Transformers hold a special place in my heart, despite Michael Bay's best efforts at tarnishing its legacy. I spent countless hours as a kid playing with Hasbro and Takara's plastic figures, but there was one type of toy I always wanted but never got: a robot that could transform on its own just like the ones I watched on TV. That changed a few years ago when Robosen launched its line of officially licensed auto-converting models, and from what I've seen, its latest release featuring Soundwave might be its best yet. Design: More than meets the eye As a follow-up to
