Patrick Bet-David is a Philosopher of Entrepreneurship

I got a lot of people asking me to meet
them and I don’t have the time it’s
unfortunately and in the beginning I had
a hard time connecting to Patrick as I
was so busy on my projects and but then
finally we got to meet at a restaurant
that we both loved in near his office
and it was really great a lot of people
are fans of my books but he took it kind
of to a whole other level he’s sort of
bringing the books to life in his
company and I found that was I found it
was very exciting
he’s unusual in that he’s a highly
successful business person but he’s a
thinker a lot of people in business are
afraid of thinking I have to be honest
with you they’re just afraid of ideas
and thinking because they’re afraid of
trying anything new they feel like they
know everything and so why do I have to
read books and think about the Patrick
could have been a philosopher you know
he could have been any rights he could
have been a writer a philosopher he
could write self-help books he’s a
thinker and so that adds to me another
dimension to a leader because so many
leaders are really sort of
one-dimensional they’re just good with
the numbers they’re good with dealing
with their board of directors good with
the price of the stock market they don’t
have a looseness where they’re able to
open to ideas and they think and they
evaluate and they interact with the
intellectual world out that’s out there
Patrick is a philosopher what Plato
would call a philosopher king so I think
that’s his strength and that’s what I sort of appreciate about him
