Why people recommend it

Bloomberg by Bloomberg is the candid autobiography of billionaire businessman, media mogul, and former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg. David Senra dedicated an entire episode of his podcast Founders to examining the book, enthusiastically recommending it to his listeners as a masterclass in determination and business strategy. Senra opened the episode by introducing the autobiography and immediately reading an excerpt to set the tone for his analysis of how Michael Bloomberg built his massive empire. Throughout the discussion, Senra used anecdotes and lessons directly from the text to illustrate Bloomberg's unique entrepreneurial mindset, work ethic, and leadership style. To add contemporary context to the historical narrative, Senra also highlighted the staggering costs associated with the financial information giant founded by the author, noting the immense subscription fees required to access a Bloomberg Terminal. As the episode drew to a close, Senra reiterated his strong endorsement, telling his audience that they should read the complete story themselves to fully grasp the subject's operational philosophy. This glowing recommendation reinforced the podcast's core mission of extracting timeless wisdom from the life stories of history's most successful and driven founders and builders.

“A subscription to Bloomberg costs about $22,000 a year. This book, I think, is almost 20 years old. I think the price is over $30,000 a year, if I'm not mistaken.”
