    Each guide names the real overlap, the important difference, and three albums worth hearing first.

    01

    Founders

    The podcast by David Senra

    Founders and Hymns for Entrepreneurs begin in a similar place: the lives, books, decisions, and obsessions of remarkable builders. David Senra makes those lessons the subject of a podcast. Josh Chakka turns them into concept albums and songs.

    02

    Acquired

    The podcast by Ben Gilbert and David Rosenthal

    Acquired tells deeply researched stories about the strategies and histories of great companies. Hymns for Entrepreneurs works at a different scale: each album follows a founder, business thinker, book, or body of ideas and turns that material into songs.

    03

    How to Take Over the World

    The podcast by Ben Wilson

    How to Take Over the World examines the strategies, habits, and mindsets of exceptional historical figures. Hymns for Entrepreneurs shares that fascination with ambitious lives, then changes the medium from narrated analysis to musical biography.

    04

    How I Built This

    The podcast created and hosted by Guy Raz

    How I Built This is driven by conversations with entrepreneurs about how their businesses came to be. Hymns for Entrepreneurs draws from books, biographies, interviews, and ideas, then retells selected parts of a builder’s journey as a concept album.

    05

    Business Wars

    The narrative podcast from Wondery

    Business Wars dramatizes the rivalries that shape companies, industries, and what people buy. Hymns for Entrepreneurs is not a rivalry show, but it explores the ambition, strategy, pressure, and consequence inside the lives of founders and business thinkers.

    02 / The connection

    Same curiosity.Different medium.

    These are independent listening guides, not endorsements or official partnerships. The connection is a shared interest in founder stories, business history, and exceptional lives. The podcasts explain and investigate. Josh Chakka’s albums interpret, then point back to their sources.
