And that arrogance is used almost as fuel. Nobody else in the world at that point thinks that Jay-Z could do it. But Jay-Z does. And so if he has that belief then he goes about building on that belief. And then once you believe that you can do something, then you spend your time not only getting good at it, but also convincing other people to share your belief."</p><p><i><strong>David on why he loves reading autobiographies:</strong> </i>"One of my favorite quotes about reading is that <i>'Reading is not a chore. Reading is theft.'</i> Somebody's way smarter than you spent their entire lives bumping their head up against the wall and they wrote it down in a book, and that knowledge can be yours."</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/in/david-senra-278843236/</a></li><li>Podcast: <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/founders/id1141877104">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/founders/id1141877104</a></li></ul><p> </p><p>Where to find <strong>Walker</strong>:</p><ul><li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/walkermc
