"If people around you don't think what you're doing is a
bit strange, maybe it's not strange enough." — Patrick
Collison
Patrick Collison (@patrickc) is chief executive officer and
co-founder of Stripe, a technology company that builds economic
infrastructure for the internet.
After experiencing firsthand how difficult it was to set up an
online business, Patrick and his brother John started Stripe in
2010. Their goal was to make accepting payments on the internet
simpler and more inclusive. Today, Stripe powers millions of
online businesses around the world.
Prior to Stripe, Patrick co-founded Auctomatic, which was
acquired by Live Current Media for $5 million in March 2008. In
2016, he was named a Presidential Ambassador for Global
Entrepreneurship by President Obama. Originally from Limerick,
Ireland, Patrick now lives in San Francisco where Stripe is
headquartered.
Also, as you can tell from seeing just a selected segment of his
reading list shared in the show notes on tim.blog/podcast, he's
one of the most well-read people I know. Please enjoy!

This podcast is also brought to you by
Athletic Greens. I get asked
all the time, "If you could only use one supplement, what would
it be?" My answer is, inevitably, Athletic
Greens. It is my all-in-one nutritional
insurance. I recommended it in The 4-Hour Body and did not get
paid to do so. As a listener of The Tim Ferriss Show,
