OBSESSION

To get to the top,
you have to be obsessed


Obsession tells the stories of the world's most prolific people in culture and commerce. Their origin story, their life purpose, how they get things done. These are not well-balanced people. To get to the top, you have to be truly obsessed. But it's not just about hard work. What was happening in the world that created the backdrop for their success? How did they spot those trends? Who helped them? And what did they have to sacrifice along the way? Do not try this at home. But maybe, just a little bit.

ABOUT KIRI MASTERS

I have always loved biographies. Whether or not I personally aligned with the ethics and life decisions of the person, I feel there is always something to learn. I voraciously listened to podcasts like Acquired, Founders, and How to take over the world, who produce in-depth biopics about fascinating people and companies. I felt there could never be enough of this type of content for me to listen to. So I decided to create my own. 

With Obsession, I tell the stories of the most materially successful people on the planet - their life stories, daily habits, philosophies, and how luck and timing played a more significant role than you'd think.
