Those on the margins often come to control the center. That maxim ties together the three remarkable people profiled in this episode: Colin Chapman, known as “the mad scientist of F1”, did more to influence F1 design than any other person in history.  Bernie Ecclestone, known as “Supremo”, Bernie transformed Formula One from a disorganized, rag-tag, chaotic collection of racing teams, into the world’s premier motor racing series. He built the business of F1— and made billions for himself along the way.  Dietrich Mateschitz, founder of Red Bull, bought two Formula One teams and insisted on becoming the sport’s foremost disruptor. Determined to question every standard way of operating, Mateschitz’s unlimited ambition transformed his team of outsiders and mavericks into a dominant force, all while building one of the world’s most valuable private companies.  All three were outsiders. All three thrived on taking risks. All three insisted on doing things their way.  This episode is what I learned from reading The Formula: How Rogues, Geniuses, and Speed Freaks Reengineered F1 into the World's Fastest-Growing Sport by Joshua Robinson and and Johnathan Clegg. ------ ⁠⁠Ramp⁠⁠ gives you everything you need to control spend, watch your costs, and optimize your financial operations —all on a single platform.

  • Dietrich Matsius, the founder of Red Bull, is one of my favorite founders I've ever read about.

  • In fact, it's one of my favorite founder episodes.

  • The first episode I made about him is one of my favorite founder episodes I've ever made.

  • And he lived a truly singular life.

  • And if you listen to the first episode I made about him,

  • he spent his entire career working with the very best people that he can.

  • Dietrich knew, just like Steve Jobs knew, just like Jeff Bezos knew, that you always bet on talent.

  • In fact, one of my favorite Steve Jobs quotes,

  • is when he said a small team of A players can run circles around a giant team of B and C players.

  • Jeff Bezos set the tone from his very first shareholder letter on the same exact idea and he said that setting the bar high in our hiring has been and will continue to be the single most important element of Amazon's success.

  • You must build a team that pursues the A players.

  • That's exactly what Dietrich Mesch just did.

  • It's exactly what RAMP has done.

  • RAMP is the presenting sponsor of this podcast.

  • and ramp has the most talented technical team in their industry becoming an engineer ramp it's nearly impossible last 12 months ramp hired only 0.23 of the people that applied this means when you use ramp you now have top tier technical talent and some of the best ai engineers working on your behalf 24 7 to automate and improve all of your business's financial operations and they do this on a single platform many of the fastest growing and most innovative companies in the world are running their business on Ramp.

  • Notion is an example of that.

  • And the CFO of Notion said this, people ask how we're using AI in finance.

  • And I have a simple answer for them.

  • We use Ramp.

  • I run my business on Ramp and so do most of the other top founders and CEOs that I know.
