When you're not focused on the what and you're only focused on the how, you're like <i>'Oh, the principles behind why they're making these decisions, I can use in whatever I'm doing.'</i>"</p><p><i><strong>David on why it's crucial for founders to learn from other founders:</strong> </i>"This is why it's important for founders to talk to other founders and learn from other founders because only entrepreneurs understand entrepreneurs."</p><p><i><strong>David on why being an entrepreneur is worth it, even with the risks involved:</strong></i> "It is in many ways rational for you to stay on shore. It's the crazy ones, and founders universally are rather crazy -- it's the crazy ones that say <i>'No, I don't want to stay on shore. I have one shot at life, I'm jumping in that boat. I believe in me.’</i>"</p><p> </p><p>Connect with <strong>David</strong> on the links below: </p><ul><li>LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-senra-278843236/">https://www.linkedin.com/
