DavidPaul Doyle wanted to be an astronaut. As a kid he wrote to John Glenn asking where to go to college, and Glenn told him the Air Force Academy. His path took a different turn from there, into entrepreneurship. This opens a three-part series on how that happened.
He and Steve talk about growing up in Silicon Valley, his father’s decades-long career in life insurance sales, and what a CEO’s day actually looks like when there’s no fixed schedule, just whatever fire needs putting out.
A good listen for anyone who planned one life and ended up building something completely different.
