  My guest today, David Heinemeier Hanson, or as most people refer to him, simply, dhH.

• 00:11

  He grew up in Denmark at a time when the early home computers had barely any memory.

• 00:15

  Recording happened on a floppy disk or maybe even cassette.

• 00:19

  Even if you wanted to play games.

• 00:20

  One of the easiest ways to make that happen was to literally copy the code that was often printed in a monthly computer magazine into your computer and then hit run.

• 00:29

  He became fiercely immersed in the world of, of gaming.

• 00:32

  Ended up building a number of online review websites.

• 00:35

  But at least in the early days, he had no interest in programming.

• 00:39

  That came because he simply couldn't do what he wanted to do with the programs and the websites that he wanted to create.

• 00:45

  It's pretty fascinating because he's now known as the creator of Ruby on Rails, which many of the largest websites and social platforms in the world run on.

• 00:54

  He's the co founder and CTO at Legendary, almost kind of like anti establishment tech company called Basecamp.

• 01:01

  A bestselling author with really provocative and insightful thoughts on the way we work and how it often wars with our ability to both flourish in life and do our best work.

• 01:12

  And along the way, he also became fascinated with endurance auto racing, began training to drive and eventually won his category in the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans race and has also become a really accomplished photographer.

• 01:27

  Amazing to see how he has become so accomplished at a number of different things.

• 01:32

  And we talk about that very specific thing and the myth of being able to do all of that simultaneously.

• 01:38

  We cover a pretty astonishing amount of ground.

• 01:41

  His lens on nearly everything, not only provocative and profound, it may really kind of shake you into re examining the way you work and live and relate to others in a really good way.

• 01:52

  So excited to share this conversation with you.

• 01:54

  I'm Jonathan Fields and this is good life project.
