How To Take Over The World
A standout podcast covering history's greatest leaders with masterful storytelling
If you’d like to learn about leadership, history, and the art of strategy, I recommend the podcast “How To Take Over the World” by Ben Wilson. This is a standout podcast filled with insights and engaging storytelling.
Each episode dives into the life of a historical leader and extracts practical lessons for the listener. Some of my favorite episodes include Leonardo da Vinci, Genghis Khan, Philip the Great, and Vladimir Putin.
What I enjoy best is how Ben Wilson does a masterful job of constructing each episode. He typically reads at least two (often more) authoritative books on each figure and distills them into a compelling narrative with engaging diction. He extracts timeless lessons from the past and presents it in a captivating format.
I hope you enjoy the content, production quality, and insights from this exceptional podcast. Each episode is both educational and entertaining.
